St. Louis Police Stop Bomb Plot

Two men have been arrested by St. Louis police in connection with a plot to bomb the Gateway Arch and assassinate two figures in the Michael Brown case.

Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Ali Davis were indicted on federal weapons charges and more charges are expected against the duo.

Police did not say in their indictment if the men had the capability to carry out their plans.  They bought what they believed to be a pipe bomb from an undercover officer and made arrangements to buy more for the attack on the Arch.

The men said they had to delay the purchase of more bombs because money had not been transferred onto his girlfriend’s welfare card.

They also planned to kill St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch and also the Ferguson Police Chief for their roles in the Michael Brown situation.

“This particular case involves serious issues, especially in light of the Ferguson matter. My client is entitled to a patient analysis and due process like anybody else, and he looks forward to a vigorous defense,” Davis’ attorney John Lynch told the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
