Pentagon leak suspect Jack Teixeira had an 'arsenal' of weapons, prosecutors said
Prosecutors argued that Jack Teixeira, the Air National Guardsman accused of releasing Pentagon secrets on social media, had an “arsenal” of weapons and could flee the charges against him if released from jail, in anticipation of his detention hearing Thursday.
Teixeira, 21, of North Dighton, Massachusetts, is charged with unauthorized retention of national defense information and unauthorized removal of classified documents.
In a court filing Wednesday, prosecutors said he kept a gun locker near his bed that held weapons including handguns, bolt-action rifles, shotguns and an AK-style high-capacity weapon. FBI agents searched the dumpster outside his house and found a military-style helmet, a mounting bracket used to attach a camera to the helmet and a GoPro camera.
"A search of the Defendant’s primary and secondary residences – that of his mother and father – also revealed the existence of a virtual arsenal of weapons, including bolt-action rifles, rifles, AR and AK-style weapons, and a bazooka," prosecutors said.
