Wilmington, NC – A North Carolina man is facing federal charges for allegedly teaching a would-be cop-killer how to build and detonate explosives in order to murder law enforcement officers.
According to court documents, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) launched an investigation into a suspected extremist after receiving information that he was allegedly attempting to recruit and organize a militia group to “engage against the United States Government,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina said in a press release on Monday.
When police tried to stop the suspect in New York on May 27, 2020, the suspect led them on a two-hour pursuit that ended in an exchange of gunfire. The suspect was fatally shot during the incident.
Investigators searched his vehicle and located three improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
They also found additional IEDs and multiple firearms during a search of the suspect’s home, according to prosecutors.
Among the items located at the suspect house were Tackleberry Solutions instructional manuals written by 38-year-old Christopher Arthur.
Investigators searched the suspect’s cell phone and found that the suspect had gone to Mount Olive in March of 2020 to attend a training session with Arthur at Tackleberry Solutions.
FBI agents “covertly requested a free PDF document from Tackleberry Solutions” on March 19, 2021, according to a search warrant affidavit.Shortly after making the request, investigators said they received an email from Arthur “indicating that he had to keep parts of the information in the PDF off of the internet since explosives were such a touchy topic.”They subsequently began talking with Arthur over the phone about the manuals, according to the press release. During a meeting at Arthur’s Mount Olive home on May 5, 2021, Arthur allegedly “explained how to properly place IEDs through one’s property, the importance of creating a fatal funnel, the setup […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
