St.
Louis’ Gateway Arch was allegedly a bombing target of two men arrested
on Friday, who are also accused of having a murder plot for Robert
McCulloch, the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney, as well as Tom
Jackson, the Chief of Police in Ferguson, it was reported Wednesday.
The news of the alleged targets was revealed by The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Brandon
Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Ali Davis allegedly purchased a fake pipe
bomb during a sting operation – and had hoped to purchase another two
bombs though did not have sufficient funds for the purchase, sources
told the newspaper.
The sources also said it was questionable if the alleged plots could have been achieved by Baldwin and Davis.
Davis was allegedly in charge of the plan and more charges may come soon, the sources also said.An
indictment unsealed on November 19 that was obtained and published by
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said sometime from November 1 to November 13
Baldwin had said he was purchasing two guns for himself at a Hazelwood
gun store, though they were being purchased for someone else.
The indictment does not include anything about the alleged plots, the newspaper noted.
The Gateway Arch was supposed to have a bomb placed in its observation deck, sources told The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Brandon
and Davis have been charged with ‘aiding and abetting the makig of a
false written statement in connection with a firearms purchase,’ the
newspaper reported.
The media outlet also reported that search warrants for two buildings were served.
Davis and
Baldwin appeared in court on Tuesday and entered not guilty pleas – and
‘waived their right to make a case for bail, so the hearing did not
proceed.,’ according to The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
