Va. guardsman faces terrorism charge in W.Va.

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — A West Virginia man arrested while running in desert camouflage with an AR-15 training rifle is a member of the Virginia National Guard who served a tour of duty in Iraq, and his father says he’s not a terrorist.

Stephen Alemar tells The Hagerstown Herald-Mail that he believes his 23-year-old son, William Alemar, was just trying to stay in shape for his next military assignment when he was arrested near two Martinsburg schools on Monday.

William Alemar was charged with committing a terrorist act after police found him carrying two knives and ammunition clips, and wearing a bulletproof vest.

Alemar remained in the Eastern Regional Jail on Tuesday on $50,000 bond.

Defense attorney Kevin Mills said his team is currently evaluating whether Alemar may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and it’s requested records from his service overseas.

Alemar’s father, meanwhile, said his son didn’t mean any harm.

“He’s not a terrorist,” he said. “He’s not a bad kid.”

Stephen Alemar said his son graduated from Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Va., and joined the National Guard after he failed to get into the U.S. Naval Academy.

Army spokesman Ray Gall said records confirm that Alemar enlisted in January 2007.

William Alemar is assigned to the Virginia National Guard’s Company B, 3rd Battalion, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team in Woodstock, Va., according to West Virginia National Guard spokesman Lt. Col. David Lester.

Alemar deployed to Iraq from July 1 to Dec. 6, 2011, Lester said, and was assigned to Task Force 183 for convoy security duty.

Martinsburg police discovered after they arrested Alemar that the gun he was carrying fires pellets, not live rounds.

A search of Alemar’s home found additional military equipment, which police seized as evidence.

I see guys running in full IBA daily + weapon daily, never occured to me it was terrorism.

no shit!

So, it says he's carrying a training rifle...sounds like an inert/dummy gun...also says two "clips" but doesn't say if they were loaded. Also, if possesing military equipment is now illegal...

Extremely Creepy

He camped out under the trailer for two days, subsisting on PowerBars as he masturbated and videotaped Iacono and her young son with a cell phone.

Apparently this guy is unaware there is free porn on the internet now.

Yeah, but apparently not the kind he likes.

A man dressed in a military-style "ghillie" suit and apparently trying to provoke reports of a Bigfoot sighting in northwest Montana was struck by two cars and killed, authorities said.

Tenley was struck by vehicles driven by two girls, ages 15 and 17, who were unable to stop in time, authorities said

Welcome to driving girls, be on the look out for anything and everything. I can't imagine the shrills that were let out...

As for the guy who was hit, sometimes you get what you have coming....

It takes two teenage girls to drive a car now?

Sort of like a Strike Eagle.

I don't care who you are....That's funny right there.
