Driver With 'Invisible Man' In Car Reports CIA Plan To Shoot Up Mall

DADE CITY, FL — A caller told authorities an invisible man was in his vehicle, and warned of a threatened mass shooting at an outlet mall planned by the CIA.

Stewart Walter Bachmann, 55, of Dade City was eventually charged with one count of unlicensed possession of a firearm not registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. If convicted, Bachmann faces up to 10 years in federal prison.

According to the complaint, on Aug. 5, the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office received a telephone call from Bachman who told the dispatcher that he was being held hostage and was going to be “put under” by people who were able to walk through the “fifth dimension.” As the call progressed, Bachmann also said there was “going to be something like 9/11,” and there was currently an invisible person in the backseat of his vehicle.

Deputies from the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office met Bachmann near the Tampa Premium Outlet Mall in Lutz. Bachmann told the deputies the CIA was planning a politically motivated mass shooting at the mall. When deputies asked Bachmann if he was going to be the one committing the shooting, he said he didn’t know or hadn’t been told that yet.

The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives conducted a search warrant of Bachmann’s home and located several firearms that had been registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.

However, another firearm, an RAK15 AR-15-type rifle, was also found. This rifle had been modified to house an automatic sear, converting the weapon to fully automatic.
