FAYETTEVILLE -- Hollis Wayne Fincher is ill and his attorneys have asked his trial for allegedly having illegal machine guns be delayed at least a day.
Fincher, 60, a lieutenant commander of the Militia of Washington County, is charged in U.S. District Court in November with possessing three homemade, unregistered machine guns and an unregistered sawed-off shotgun.
Trial is set for Monday in Fayetteville.
A ruling had not been made as of Friday evening.
Oscar Stilley, Fincher's attorney, said Friday his client had been ill since Tuesday. Fincher has been sweating profusely and experiencing nausea, vomiting, blood pressure swings and chest pains, Stilley said.
"I've got a client who, if his trial started today, there's no way he could participate in his defense, as he has a right to under the Constitution," Stilley said.
In addition to a one-day delay in the trial, Stilley is asking the judge to either order Fincher transported to a hospital or other facility for treatment or reduce his bond significantly so he can be released and seek treatment from his own doctor.

God bless and keep you Wayne. Remember "By His stripes we were healed".....
I feel sorry that a public militant can't even bear arms. What's wrong with creating your own weapons? If I created a water gun that shoots lava would I have to register that too? What if I made a car that ran on carbon dioxide? I understand if you are mass producing a product for business purposes, but it's for personal use... Another messed up part of the government, I think probably the most uncorrupted part of the government might just be social security.
