A Mount Clemens, Michigan, man accused of threatening a postal carrier when he was asked to secure his dog has pleaded guilty.
Michael Sowards, 49, was arraigned on two counts of possessing firearms by a prohibited person, one count of possessing ammunition by a prohibited person, and three counts of felony firearms, according to the sheriff’s office.
Authorities say on May 4, at a home on the 100 block of Dickinson Street in Mount Clemens, Sowards directed racial slurs toward a mail carrier and threatened to retrieve an AR-15 rifle after the carrier asked him to secure his dog so he could deliver mail safely.
Macomb County deputies arrested Sowards, and while searching his home, found an AR-15-style rifle, two loaded magazines, one CO2-powered pellet pistol, one .22-caliber pellet rifle and another pellet air rifle.
