Daniel Shays was wanted for resisting the governments of multiple states, and attacking different towns in hope of anarchy and recognization for his plunder by the government. He mainly wanted to sack and burn Boston, so the upper powers had fear of being overthrown, and for their lives. Another tale is that a sheriff brought around Daniel Shays criminal record when he shot Daniel's prize pony. This gave Shays a motive for stealing horses across states, a different way (apart from his rebellion) that he was known as a criminal.
