Federal prosecutors say a North Carolina man being held on separate federal charges researched a plan to harm Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, according to court documents reported this week.
According to TMZ and other outlets, Alexander was arrested in May on child pornography charges. Prosecutors then filed additional documents asking that he remain in custody until trial. The allegations below come from those filings and have not been proven in court.
Prosecutors allege Alexander posted a meme online asking whether he should harm Biden, and that he researched traveling to a restaurant about four miles from Biden’s home. They say he kept a checklist that ended with the word “execute.”
The filings say agents found a van in May containing guns and explosive material, including an AR-15 style rifle, a handgun and a container of Tannerite. Prosecutors also say the van held about $509,000 in cash, several driver’s licenses, and books on survival and bomb making.
Court documents further allege that between March and May 2020 he searched online for information on Biden’s home address and family, along with items such as night vision goggles. A note found on his phone allegedly outlined a mass shooting plan.
Alexander has not been convicted, and the allegations in the filings are claims by prosecutors.
