KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (WBTV) A man was arrested in Kannapolis with a van full of guns and explosives with plans to carry out an act of terrorism, including trying to assassinate Joe Biden.
An order filed in federal court earlier this month outlines the plans by a man identified as Alexander Hillel Treisman, who also used the alias Alexander S. Theiss.
In the order, a federal magistrate judge outlined the reasons why Treisman should continue to be held in jail on child pornography charges.
Although, Treisman currently faces pornography charges, the order details a list of factors related to the defendants plans for a possible act of terror as grounds he should remain in custody.
According to the order, Treisman was arrested in late May, after employees at a bank in Kannapolis called police to investigate a white van that had been left in the parking lot.
Through the windows, KPD officers observed an AR-15 style rifle, a box for a Taurus .380 handgun, a cannister of the explosive material Tannerite, and a box of 5.56 caliber ammunition, the order said, referencing testimony from a FBI agent who investigated the case as part of the Joint Terrorism Task Force.
