DETROIT, MI (My TV20 News at 10) --- Two Metro Detroit leaders are said to be on Richard Schmidt's hit list.
The Toeldo area man is a Nazi sympathizer who apparently kept close tabs on Detroit NAACP President Rev. Wendell Anthony, and Scott Kaufman, CEO of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit.
The FBI conducted a search of Schmidt's house in December, as well as at his business, Spindletop Sports Zone in Bowling Green.
Investigators claim they found Nazi paraphernalia, a video of a neo-Nazi convention from 2005 and 18 assault weapons, a handful of other guns and 40,000 rounds of ammunition.
Schmidt is a convicted felon who spent 13 years in prison on a homicide charge.
He was on parole but barred under federal law for owning any firearms.
He’s now been federally indicted for the possession of illegal firearms, ammunition and body armor.
