TwoTexas Men Charged in RNC Scheme
(2008-09-07)
(kccu-fm) - Two Texas men who authorities say planned to target law enforcement during the Republican National Convention face federal charges.

22-year-old David Guy McKay and 23-year-old Bradley Neil Crowder are each charged with one count of possession of firearms that were not registered to them.

The two Austin men were in custody. A court hearing is scheduled for Tuesday in Minneapolis.

According to the criminal complaint, law enforcement officers overheard a conversation through electronic surveillance. In it, McKay said the Molotov cocktails he and Crowder made would be thrown at vehicles parked in a St. Paul lot. The lot was used by law enforcement, and patrolled by U.S. Secret Service and the military.

McKay and Crowder allegedly belong to an organization known as the Austin Affinity Group. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota says FBI officials in Texas have been investigating the group since 2007.
