Two More Arrests in Multistate Plot to Attack White House UFC Event
The FBI arrested William Lee Spartacus Falkner (Washington) and Jordan W. Rincker (Missouri) as part of a multi-state probe into a planned attack on the White House UFC Freedom 250 event on June 14, charging them with conspiracy to murder; they appeared in U.S. District Court in Tacoma and Kansas City, respectively. The investigation uncovered drone-enabled attack plans, weapon transfers, and encrypted communications among co-conspirators, with earlier arrests of others and a broad effort by federal, state, and local partners to disrupt the plot. Conspiracy to murder carries up to life in prison, and prosecutors say they will continue pursuing those involved.
