Jeff began life as a local religious whackadoodle known as "The Bulletinman" and once roamed freely in the counties on the edge of the Ozarks to the immediate South and Southwest of St. Louis. Like many Ozark whackadoodles, he hung out at evangelical churches, published a newsletter (The Bulletin), smoked his weed, ran for local office, beat his wives and girlfriends, and was run from county to county as he pissed people off.

This is a local article from when he got shot by the Missouri State Trooper in 2013, with a short history of some of his shenanigans that led up to taking his gun to meet the highway patrol. Earlier stuff in the article at the link. Also linked at the bottom of the page the rest of the Weinhaus articles, which become increasingly sarcastic as the things moved forward.

Rather than write something myself or piece newspaper articles together 4 paragraphs at a time to explain how Jeff went from serial Ozark village idiot to convict, I have attached the prosecution's opening statement. It's only 7 pages of double spaced transcript. Rural Missouri Courts prize brevity.In more recent years, he has criticized officials in Jefferson and Crawford counties, publicizing through bulletins, Internet blogs and YouTube.
His last YouTube post talks about his wife filing for divorce, troopers taking his medications and computers, a trip to the mental health center, occupying the courthouse, and the government and police being criminal.
A post earlier this month shows a petition he planned to file with the Supreme Court against the 20th Circuit Court, Judge David Hoven, the Missouri Highway Patrol, Sgt. HJ Folsom and Erik Kessler.
“...Petitioner is aware of numerous murders committed by members of law enforcement and other suspect deaths by members of the BAR aka ruling establishment,” a portion of the document reads. “This is Petitioners third attempt at Public Office to counter the overthrow of the Republic. In the year 2000 a run for Sheriff in St. Francois County. Which cost 30 acres, $300,000 and 30 days in Jail. In 2006 Alderman in Piedmont which cost a house, a wife and three children, over $25,000 and 13 days in the Mental Hospital ...”
It goes on to explain that Judge Hoven had authorized the issuance of a search warrant on Aug. 22 and that allowing the items to be removed violated his free speech.

Jeff was found guilty, the jury recommended 30+30+3 years, and the judge ran them concurrent. Jeff, predictable made a fool of himself at the sentencing.

The EndWeinhaus got in one last jab as a free man before being led away from the courtroom. “You are a black-robed terrorist, an enemy combatant no different than Osama bin Laden,” the newest resident of the state’s prison system told Judge Keith Sutherland, who had just imposed sentence on him for assaulting state troopers on Sept. 11, 2012.
On Oct. 10 a jury had convicted Weinhaus, age 47, of several charges including armed criminal action, assault on a law enforcement officer, misdemeanor possession of marijuana and possession of illegal morphine. The jury had recommended Weinhaus be given 63 years in prison. By state law the judge imposing the sentence could not exceed the recommendation of the jury. Sutherland opted to run the sentences for the assorted charges concurrently, and gave Weinhaus more than a year off his sentence for time served while awaiting trial and sentencing.
As is his custom, Weinhaus responded with a lengthy and sometimes wandering or repetitive rant where he complained that he was the “victim” who was “hurt” by the whole ordeal.
