Tempe police have arrested a 60-year-old man, Jeffrey Michael Kelly, in connection with a series of disturbing incidents involving political signs and shootings.
Kelly is accused of hanging suspicious bags of white powder from political signs lined with razor blades in Ahwatukee.
Additionally, he is believed to be responsible for three separate shooting incidents targeting the Democratic National Committee (DNC) office in Tempe.
The investigation revealed that a silver-colored Toyota Highlander was captured on surveillance footage at the scene of the DNC shootings.
Evidence collected from Kelly’s home included .22-caliber casings, Google searches of the DNC office location, and searches for firearm conversions and accessories.
Kelly made his initial court appearance on Wednesday morning.
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office expressed concerns about the increasing violence and potential future attacks.
During a search of Kelly’s home, ATF investigators discovered a significant arsenal, including more than 120 guns, over 250,000 rounds of ammunition, body armor, a grenade launcher, and other weapons-related items.
Evidence linking Kelly to the incidents, such as the vehicle seen on surveillance video and multiple license plates, was also found.
Kelly is scheduled to appear in court again on October 29th.

COLUMBUS, Ga. โ A 55-year-old woman has died several days after she was reportedly assaulted inside her home in Columbus, Georgia, and her son has been arrested in connection with the incident, according to authorities.
Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan identified the victim as Camilla Faye Daniel, who died at 6:36 a.m. on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, while receiving treatment in the intensive care unit at Piedmont Columbus Regional.
According to Bryan, Daniel was assaulted at her residence on Sunday, October 11. Following her death, arrangements were being made to transport her body for an autopsy to determine the cause and circumstances of her death. Her family has been notified.
The case follows a reported assault involving a stabbing in the 2900 block of Dawson Street late Sunday night. The Columbus Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit is leading the investigation.
Jail records show that Brandon Harmon, 37, was booked into the Muscogee County Jail on October 12. He was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a knife during the commission of a crime.
Authorities have confirmed that Harmon is Daniel’s son and was incarcerated in connection with the case. However, officials have not yet publicly announced whether the charges against him will be amended or whether additional charges will be filed following Daniel’s death.
The pending autopsy is expected to help investigators establish further details surrounding Daniel’s death. Authorities have not released additional information about the circumstances of the alleged assault.
The investigation remains ongoing. Further updates may be released as police and the coroner’s office provide additional information.
