A convicted felon, child molester,and thief, who is not allowed to touch guns, was araigned Thursday in Pierce County Washington. He was shown on the reality show "Doomsday Preppers" Loading and firing two rifles.

"Even if he doesn't own the guns, he can't handle, have those weapons, fire them (or) possess them in any way," said Pierce County Sheriff's Detective Ed Troyer.

Tyler Richard Smith was featured on the National Geographic show which explores the lives of Americans who are preparing for the end of the world as we know it.

Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor said in a statement: "Mr. Tyler Smith gained national notoriety for appearing on a television show (National Geographic Channel) describing his plan for ‘marauding’, committing armed robbery when he believed ‘doomsday’ had arrived, his stated plan was not to defend himself but to use weapons he illegally possessed, to rob his neighbors at gunpoint. Did he really think that this wouldn't attract our attention?"
