The Coast Guard officer accused of being a white supremacist who compiled a hit list of prominent Democrats and journalists has been indicted on firearms and drug charges.
A federal grand jury in Maryland indicted Christopher Paul Hasson, 49, on charges of illegal possession of firearm silencers; possession of firearms by a drug addict and unlawful user; and possession of a controlled substance. Hasson has been detained since federal agents arrested him on related charges on Feb. 15.
Investigators found 15 firearms, including seven rifles, and over 1,000 rounds of ammunition when they searched Hasson's basement apartment in Silver Spring, Md., according to prosecutors. The indictment also accuses Hasson of illegal possession of tramadol, an opioid painkiller.
