Martin "Marty" Winters heads a group called the River Otter Preppers and is accused of manufacturing destructive devices and illegally purchasing AR-15 rifles in preparation for ?an end-of-times event as prophesied by the Book of Revelations,? according to the FBI.
Agents have been searching for Winters, 55, since Monday morning, after he fled from authorities when they approached his car near S.R. 60 and Dover Road.
Winters sped off and nearly injured two law enforcement officers who had to jump out of the way, said Dave Couvertier, spokesman for the FBI?s Tampa division.

Authorities began investigating Winters late last year, according to an affidavit released with a warrant to search his home at 3032 Williams Blvd. Over the course of several months, Winters met with an undercover FBI employee multiple times and described his plans for an apocalyptic event, according to the affidavit.
He told the investigator about barrels buried on his property that were packed with AR-15 rifles, ammunition and bullet-proof vests that he purchased through straw buyers. Winters said he had buried about 50 rifles and spent more than $200,000 on his preparations, records show.
Winters showed the agent several booby traps he had built to use on federal agents, according to the affidavit. One device was made of plastic piping that used compressed air to shoot out fish hooks to trap and immobilize intruders. A second booby trap consisted of metal pipes that were designed to fire 12-gauge shotgun shells.
He also outlined his plans to defend his home from government agents using propane gas and pistols, according to court records. He told the undercover agent there were 40 armed men in the neighborhood willing to help him defend the property during his ?last stand.?
On Monday, authorities arrested five other people they said were members of the River Otter Preppers. James Beebe, Desiree Beebe, Jason Swain and Nicholas Hall were charged with being felons in possession of firearms; Michael Bonta was charged with making and possessing destructive devices without permission of registration, the same charges Winters faces.
Winters was arrested in 1979 for hunting deer out-of-season and received probation in 1985 after he was arrested for larceny. In 1989, he was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The Florida doomsday survivalist and "River Otter Preppers" chief, who was on the lam from the FBI in connection with a plan to kill federal agents with guns and explosives, agreed to surrender Wednesday in exchange for "dry shoes, Gatorade, a couple of cheeseburgers and some French fries."

Now I come to my first must face facts portion. First you must come to grips with the truth and see if you can handle it. You are going to have to prep for at least 1/2 of your extended family. A good rule of thumb is if you have holidays together, they are probably going to show up, and you're going to have to take care of them. Or you will have to kill them.
