The Mills County Attorney’s Office today (Wednesday), reports a Pacific Junction man was arrested Tuesday on a felony charge of Going Armed with Intent, and an aggravated misdemeanor charge of Carrying Weapons, in connection with social media statement he made seeking vigilante justice. 20-year old Liam Russell Whitehouse allegedly made statements on Facebook at around 9-p.m. Sunday, seeking justice in connection with a shooting that occurred earlier that evening in Glenwood, near the home of High School Principal Richard Hutchinson.

The Mills County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop in the 800 block of E. Sharp Street, in Glenwood, with the assistance of Glenwood Police. During a search of Whitehouses’ vehicle, authorities located a gun under the driver’s seat, and a samurai sword in the trunk.

Whitehouse has since bonded out of jail and is awaiting an initial appearance before the magistrate. If convicted on both charges, he faces up to seven-years in prison and fines amounting to a maximum of nearly $14,000.
