Nutjob smorgasboard: what do we charge him with...

Investigators found the freezer at the end of an all-night stand-off at Schuth's home in Campbell, on French Island in the Mississippi River about 177km north-west of Madison.

The stand-off began on Friday when a 10-year-old boy told his father that Schuth had hit him.

The boy's father, mother and the child confronted Schuth at his home. After admitting he hit the boy, Schuth allegedly pulled out a handgun and opened fire.

The father was hit three times, and the family fled and called police. The father was treated and released for his wounds.

Schuth retreated into his house. When SWAT teams arrived, Schuth told negotiators he had "more than 10 but less than 100" bombs and 16 firearms, and it would be "high noon" when he surrendered, according to court documents.

He surrendered early on Saturday without incident. Investigators allegedly found 15 to 20 homemade explosive devices packed with nails, heavy staples and other metal items, a sawn-off shotgun and 15 other firearms.

District Attorney Scott Horne said he planned to charge Schuth next week with attempted homicide and reckless endangerment for allegedly shooting at the family, as well as having improvised explosives and concealing a corpse.

A case of "freezing his assest" unlawfully ?

Frozen assets, killer pussy, this is prime time stuff.
Now if only he had f**ked the kid instead of just hitting him we could get a year out of this story.

''Everybody thought he was nuts,'' said Gary Mitchell, 59, who lives next door to Schuth

Philip Schuth and his mother, Edith, had only each other, neighbors and acquaintances said Tuesday as they tried to make sense of a police standoff at Schuth's home that ended with Schuth in jail and investigators carting a massive chest-freezer out of his basement. Inside was a body Schuth claims is his mother.

He told authorities she died of natural causes in 2000. He didn't report it because he wanted to keep collecting her Social Security and feared police might charge him with murder, according to court documents.
