A man who has properties in both Colorado Springs and Cotopaxi was sentenced this week after pleading guilty in the U.S. District Court for Colorado in Denver to having a gun after a previous conviction of a felony. He was also ordered to forfeit all 11 firearms and ammunition.
Chad Edward Keith, 42, was sentenced on Tuesday to 27 months in federal prison for possessing firearms after previously being convicted of a felony.
One of the properties owned by Keith is a 2.6-acre property in the town of Cotopaxi. A 13-page federal arrest warrant describes the property as having multiple underground bunkers — one of which can allegedly protect from an electromagnetic blast — 10,000-gallon water cistern, a 462-foot-deep well and being “100% OFF GRID.”
Keith is also an alleged white supremacist who purportedly wanted to start a school at his property in south-central Colorado to teach high schoolers about weapons and white supremacy.
