The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said that 35-year-old Joshua Hakken tied up Patricia Hauser, the maternal grandmother of 4-year-old Cole Hakken and 2-year-old Chase Hakken, at around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday morning.
Joshua Hakken took the boys and fled along with his wife, 34-year-old Sharyn Hakken, in Hauser’s 2009 silver Toyota Camry. They are suspected to be traveling in a 2006, black GMC Sierra with Florida tag number U95KT. The truck may also have been pulling a 2012 Forrest River pop-up camper.
“Both suspects are anti-government and have attempted a previous abduction at gunpoint in Louisiana,” a statement from the sheriff’s office warned. “Both subjects are considered armed and dangerous.”
Information about who had legal custody of the children was not immediately available. The Tampa Tribune reported that Joshua Hakken had been arrested in June 2012 on various drug charges, including “possession of a controlled dangerous substance in the presence of a minor.”

So they took his kids because he had pot on his person while next to his kids, what a joke and you wonder why he might be against big government. I hope they're never found, again just another example of how screwed up the war on drugs is.
