WRAL News: A Triad man is facing multiple charges after being arrested in a church parking lot while holding a gun and wearing body armor, said the High Point Police Department.
An off-duty officer was working at the Wesley Memorial Church on Chestnut Drive when he saw Milliken. He approached the man and called for backup.
William Milliken III, 44, was disarmed and arrested. He has been charged with the following:
– Possession of a weapon of mass destruction
– Impersonating a law enforcement officer
– Possession of a scheduled II controlled substance
Officials searched Milliken III’s vehicle and found several weapons, including:
– 2 flame throwers
– 2 crossbows
– Pepper ball handgun
– 3 knives
– 500 rounds of ammunition
According to arrest warrants, Milliken III presented himself as a law enforcement officer, approached a man and informed him he was there to enforce a smoking violation at the church. Police found four pills of oxycodone in Milliken III’s truck.
He is being held at the Guilford County Courthouse. Milliken’s first appearance was June 29 at 2 p.m. He was denied bond, and his next court date is July 24 at 8:15 a.m.
Court documents cite the reason for bond denial is that he “has a love for guns”, and had the following in his possession:
– A notebook full of addresses of churches, schools, public buildings
– 2 radios with police scanners
– GPS coordinates
– Body armors
– Handcuffs & keys
– A copy of NC Tactical Interoperability Guide (Public Safety Sensitive)
– Weather proof notebook
– Two gatorades for hydration
– Three yards of duct tape
– An enlarged NC map
– 4 oxycodone pills
The document also stated “Per High Point Police, reason to believe defendant is deemed a danger to public because he has experience with bombs, believed to have mental issues.”

“We are living in the midst of an “epidemic of crime,” at which thoughtful, God-fearing men everywhere stand aghast. The corruption that prevails, it is beyond the power of the human pen to describe. Every day brings fresh revelations of political strife, bribery, and fraud. Every day brings its heart-sickening record of violence and lawlessness, of indifference to human suffering, of brutal, fiendish destruction of human life. Every day testifies to the increase of insanity, murder, and suicide. Who can doubt that satanic agencies are at work among men with increasing activity to distract and corrupt the mind, and defile and destroy the body?” Ministry of Healing, 142.4
