A pot bust in Northern California took a wild turn when officers discovered a hidden bunker packed with an arsenal of illegal weapons and 10,000 rounds of ammo.
Michael Jay Kamfolt, 40, was arrested at his home in Anderson after investigators found a 100-foot tunnel leading to the bunker, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Kamfolt is a prominent conservative activist who often Shasta County Board of Supervisors meetings and has been involved in protests about voting fraud.
Officers seized everything from a sawed-off shotgun and three AR-15-style assault rifles to body armor and 30 high-capacity magazines.
Kevin Crye, a county supervisor and loyal MAGA supporter, urged caution before locals made their mind up about Kamfolt.
“Remember, we are innocent until proven guilty,” Crye said.
Crye once launched a successful effort to have the county ditch Dominion voting machines in favor of hand-counted ballots. The bid was later overturned.
Kamfolt has been hit with 11 firearm-related charges, including manufacturing and possessing an assault rifle, possession of a machine gun, converting a firearm into a machine gun, manufacturing an unserialized ‘ghost gun’, possession of a stolen firearm and illegal possession of high-capacity magazines.
Kamfolt was booked into the Shasta County Jail, where bail was set at $50,000. Jail records show he later posted bond and was released on January 27.
