Still more details are emerging in court filings about the Hutaree Christian militia, and unlike last week's revelation that police were in a dramatic armed standoff with member Josh Stone, 21, the latest filing offers almost sitcom-like details of the inner workings of the group.
In a filing arguing against bond for Tina Stone, the woman who married alleged Hutaree leader David Stone late last year in a heavily-armed ceremony, prosecutors allege that Tina Stone and Josh Stone -- David's son from a previous relationship -- once got into an argument after Tina submitted a job application on his behalf.
The argument arose, naturally, during an alleged discussion "about building destructive devices for the Hutaree." The filing alleges:
"During this meeting, she also related that she and another Hutaree member had put in a job application on behalf of Joshua Stone without his knowledge. The defendant indicated that Joshua Stone became angry when he learned of this because he did not need a job because the war was approaching and getting ready for the war was his job. The defendant noted that she was employed even though she too was preparing for 'the war.'"
