Three Men Who Plotted to Attack Power Grids to Further White Supremacist Ideology Plead Guilty in Domestic Terrorism Case – By Chris Spargo (Law and Crime) / February 23, 2022
Three men pleaded guilty on Wednesday to conspiring to provide material support to terrorists after authorities learned of their plan to attack power grids across the country according to the U.S. Justice Department.
Christopher Cook, 20, of Columbus, Ohio; Jackson Sawall, 22, of Oshkosh, Wisconsin; and Jonathan Frost, 24, of Katy, Texas and of West Lafayette, Indiana now face a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
The men believed that these attacks would help aid the rise of white supremacist ideology by creating “confusion” and “unrest” among Americans as the government worked to rebuild and recover the damaged power grids, according to court documents filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. Those documents state that the three men believed that this would be an ideal climate for the rise of a white leader.
