Two members of a domestic terror movement were arrested in Las Vegas on Thursday after a four-month sting operation revealed they were plotting to torture and kill police officers, authorities said.

A Las Vegas police SWAT team arrested roommates David Allen Brutsche, 42, and Devon Campbell Newman, 67, near the Vegas Strip and charged them with conspiracy to commit kidnapping and murder.

The two are reputed members of the Sovereign Citizen Movement, a loose-knit organization whose members believe they are not subject to the laws of the United States and which is considered a domestic terrorist group by the FBI.

Over the course of several months an undercover officer documented the pair's plans as they attended Sovereign Citizen meetings, bought weapons and turned an abandoned house into a virtual torture chamber, rigging the beams with ligatures to bind their captives.

Police in Vegas say plot to kill officers thwarted
KEN RITTER 10 hours ago

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A couple spent hundreds of hours over four months plotting to abduct, torture and kill Las Vegas police officers as a way to attract attention to their anti-authority "sovereign citizens" movement, police said.

David Allen Brutsche and Devon Campbell Newman attended training sessions about sovereign citizen philosophy, shopped for guns, found a vacant house and rigged it to bind captives to cross beams during interrogation, and recorded videos to explain their actions and why officers had to die.

At every step, police said Thursday, an undercover officer was with them, documenting and recording the alleged plot.

Newman, 67, of Las Vegas was a bit nervous, according to a police report. She asked at one meeting to unplug the television because she thought authorities could use it to listen to their conversations.

Brutsche 42, an ex-con child sex offender from California, practiced stalking Newman, posing as a police officer and putting a gun to her head to take her into custody, the report said.
