Federal authorities continue to expand their investigation into what they describe as a coordinated domestic terror conspiracy. On Monday, the Department of Justice revealed that two additional men had been taken into custody for their alleged involvement in a planned attack on the UFC Freedom 250 event, which took place at the White House on June 14. As initially reported, the newly arrested individuals are William Lee Spartacus Falkner, who hails from Washington state, and Jordan W. Rincker, a 28-year-old resident of St. Joseph, Missouri. With these two additions, seven people have now been charged in connection with the case. Both men are facing conspiracy to commit murder charges.
According to prosecutors, Falkner was allegedly central to the drone aspect of the operation. He reportedly conspired with others to obtain and operate drones loaded with explosives. Communications obtained by investigators suggest he had practical experience both building and flying drones. He allegedly talked about attaching explosive payloads to the aircraft while modifying them to cause as much destruction as possible.
The alleged scheme involved a disturbing level of coordination. Explosive drones were supposed to hit one side of the venue, which would push attendees, including government officials, toward the opposite exit. Co-conspirators armed with sniper rifles and additional weapons would be positioned at that exit, waiting. Falkner and an associate allegedly discussed a so-called "Work trip" leading up to the UFC event. After other suspects were arrested, they reportedly communicated that the trip had been "cancelled."
Rincker allegedly played a substantial role of his own. Prosecutors say he had weapons in his possession and agreed to produce drone components for the plot. He also reportedly took $1,200 in cash from co-conspirator Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, which was intended to be distributed as payments to other participants. Rincker allegedly sent $100 through Cash App to Bryan Omar Roa, described as fuel money for a drive from California to the nation's capital to retrieve the individual referred to as the "drone operator."
During a face-to-face meeting in Omaha, Rincker allegedly turned over a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun to Alvarez. In return, he received a significant collection of tactical gear: a bandolier filled with ammunition, a ballistic plate, a face shield, a 3D printer along with filament, night vision goggles, binoculars, a wire checker, and a minicomputer.
The investigation went further when authorities searched Rincker's residence and a storage unit. What they found resembled a military inventory. Among the recovered items were a FN Reflex 9mm pistol, an FMK AR1 eXtreme multi-caliber rifle, a Remington 597 .22 LR rifle, and a pistol in the Glock style that had been produced on a 3D printer. Law enforcement also seized ammunition, a gas mask, a thermal imaging scope, a plate carrier, extra ballistic plates, another 3D printer, and a mesh network device designed for off-grid use, enabling secure communication without relying on cellular service or the internet.
The scope of what prosecutors are alleging is remarkable. The conspiracy reportedly stretched across multiple states and involved explosive drones, sniper positions, and advanced counter-surveillance technology. Federal investigators clearly believe this was an organized, serious threat rather than idle talk.
