Eight men have now been officially indicted by a federal grand jury in the Southern District of Ohio for their participation in an aborted plan to use a combined sniper and drone assault targeting the UFC Freedom 250 fight night on the South Lawn of the White House. The gala event, put on by President Donald Trump with hundreds of famous guests and supporters, became the central focus of the group’s efforts to take down the President along with many other important dignitaries in attendance. The government’s timely effort saved thousands from becoming casualties of the scheme.

Federal Grand Jury Hits Eight Plotters With Severe Terrorism And Murder Conspiracies

A two-count consolidated indictment has been issued by the Department of Justice that will officially replace a series of various individual criminal complaints in several states in the early days of the probe. Federal attorneys have now charged each of the 8 conspirators in a count of conspiracy to commit material support to a terrorist organisation along with a conspiracy to commit murder in United States jurisdiction and the conspiracy to murder a United States officer. The documents unsealed show a group with some fringes of the conspiracy theory and a plan to foment a violent attack upon the U.S. Government. 

Abraham Alvarez (Nebraska), Daniel Eskridge (Missouri), William Falkner (Washington), Tycen Proper (Ohio), Jordan Rincker (Missouri), Brian Roa (California), Chandler Scaggs (West Virginia) and Michael Thomas (California) were all arrested by authorities. 

As it is currently written in the federal statute, conspiring to provide material support to a terror group can get someone up to 15 years in prison. Likewise, the separate charge of a conspiracy to commit murder in U.S. Jurisdiction carries with it a statutory penalty of up to life in prison.\
