Brandon Russell, a 29-year-old neo-Nazi leader from Orlando, Fla., faces up to 20 years in prison after a federal jury found him guilty of conspiring to damage a Maryland energy facility.

Neo-Nazi Brandon Russell is convicted of plotting to blow up Baltimore’s power grid as part of plan to sew chaos in the city. His co-defendant, Sarah Beth Clendaniel, earlier pleaded guilty in the case.

An avowed neo-Nazi has been convicted of plotting an attack on energy infrastructure with the goal of "lay [ing] waste to the city of Baltimore."

A federal jury found 29-year-old Brandon Russell of Orlando, Florida, guilty after a six-day trial, the Department of Justice announced Monday.

The leader of a neo-Nazi group was found guilty of conspiring to attack Maryland's power grid in a terrorist plot, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

Brandon Russell, 29, encouraged others to carry out “sniper attacks” on electrical substations around Baltimore, according to federal prosecutors.

Russell’s online evidence of his affiliation to neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division as well as a document finely detailing a plot to take out the transformers were revealed during trial, the report says.
