"I'm not that guy," he said to a judge during a pretrial hearing in Hammond, Indiana. "What they're alleging and what I've done are two different things," Piatek said in Hammond federal court according to the Northwest Indiana Times.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Cherry ordered a special hearing to figure it out.
Piatek did tell the court that he had been “raped” by property taxes so he couldn't afford an attorney, according to the Chicago Tribune, but he had no plans to participate in an attack on law enforcement.
FBI agents, however, searched his car and found a “Hutaree” sticker in the back window and a “Militia Field Manual SOP” book in the truck alongside camouflage clothing and hair dye. Agents were also seen removing boxes of evidence from Piatek's home Monday.
