He’s a active (soon formerly active) member of ARES/RACES and apparently was previously charged with making bomb threats and criminal damage.  He was sentenced to life.
His callsign is KD8ORM
One has to wonder why the ARES/RACES folks didn’t discover (the bomb threats and criminal damage) this thru background checks that they do on their members…
