Summary
Eight men were indicted on murder and terrorism conspiracy charges Thursday for their alleged roles in a thwarted drone and sniper attack on the UFC cage-fighting show staged at the White House in June. Tycen C Proper 19, of Danville, Ohio, and four others were arrested and charged in Missouri, Nebraska and California the weekend of the UFC event, called Freedom 250. The eighth defendant is Chandler D Scaggs, 21, of Chapmanville, West Virginia, who was taken into custody in that state.
Furthermore, The Justice Department announced federal charges against seven people last month from across the country, including from Ohio, Missouri, Washington, Nebraska and California. Two more defendants were charged and arrested by the FBI about a week later in Washington and Missouri. The indictment, returned in Ohio, charges all eight in two separate conspiracies, one to provide material support to terrorists and a second to commit murder on federal government territory and to murder a federal government official.
In addition, Scaggs was allegedly assigned to be one of the snipers in the plotted attack, according to an affidavit. Enter Email One of the defendants told investigators that they planned to fly explosive-laden drones into the event and then shoot panicked crowd members as they fled, according to a federal affidavit.
