Second border militia member arrested on weapons charges

For those following these events, this is the man who pulled the gun on the Border Patrol agent on August 29th.

Authorities have arrested the second member of a border militia group on federal weapons charges.

U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) agents arrested John Frederick Foerster on Tuesday.

The 44-year-old Brownsville man is facing a felon in possession of a firearm charge.

Foerster appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Ronald Morgan at Brownsville's federal courthouse on Wednesday morning.

Information about the proceedings were not immediately available but federal court records show that Foerster is a member of Camp Lonestar.
