Leader of Neo-Nazi group found guilty of planning attack on Maryland power grid


Neo-Nazi group founder Brandon Russell was convicted of conspiring to attack Maryland’s power grid with his former girlfriend, Sarah Beth Clendaniel. They planned sniper attacks on electrical substations in Baltimore to create chaos in the city. However, the plans were thwarted, and Russell was found guilty by a jury of one count of conspiracy to damage an energy facility. Despite his cheerful demeanor during the trial, Russell faces sentencing at a later date.

This wasn’t Russell’s first encounter with the law, as he previously pleaded guilty to possession of explosive materials related to his neo-Nazi beliefs. Prosecutors claimed Russell aimed to incite a race war, while his defense attorney argued that Russell was a mere “cheerleader” and not an active participant in the plot. Nevertheless, the jury found him guilty based on his involvement in the conspiracy.

Russell’s background included founding the neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division and having ties to white supremacy. Despite his earlier conviction and imprisonment, he continued to engage in extremist activities, leading to his latest conviction. Both Russell and Clendaniel’s involvement in the plot highlighted the dangers of radical ideologies and the potential consequences of extremist beliefs.
