Documents: Maryland Federal Prosecutors Charge Man Who Plotted ISIS-Inspired Vehicular Attack
On Monday, the Maryland U.S. attorney's office alleged in a motion for detention pending trial that Rondell Henry stole a U-Haul with the intent of ramming the vehicle into crowds of people at National Harbor in Potomac, Maryland. Henry was arrested on April 3 pursuant to a criminal complaint charging him with interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle. A motion for pretrial detention explained that Henry poses a flight risk and public safety threat by revealing that his actions were inspired by the Islamic State and the 2016 truck attack in Nice, France. He will appear before a federal magistrate judge in Greenbelt, Maryland at 12:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The criminal complaint, supporting affidavit and motion for detention pending trial are available in full below.
