A felon prosecutors say is obsessed with 'hate-based violence' was arrested after a raid on his Pittsburgh home turned up a cache of weapons, according to a criminal complaint.
January 26, 2020, 4:24 PMThe Anti-Defamation League is helping authorities track hate groups online as the country struggles with an increase in mass shootings, many of which are being carried out by white supremacists.
Dennis Alan Riggs, 50, who was convicted in 1994 of aggravated assault, also decorated his home with posters of Adolf Hitler and Nazis, and possessed a video of the 2019 terrorist"Riggs’s Nazi videos, photos and paraphernalia clearly show his obsession with hate-based violence. His cache of firearms clearly shows his capability to act on that obsession," Scott Brady, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, said in a statement.
Inside the two-story home on Hatteras Street, agents seized a Ruger .223 caliber AR-15 style rifle; Ruger .22 caliber revolver; a .32 caliber revolver; two 38 caliber revolvers and two Harrington & Richardson shotguns. Agents also seized multiple rounds of ammunition and knives and daggers from the residence.
Six of the seven seized guns were loaded, including one of the revolvers with the hammer cocked, according to the criminal complaint.Riggs waived his right to remain silent and purportedly told federal agents that a person he is in a"romantic relationship" with purchased the weapons on his behalf, according to the criminal complaint.
Also found on Riggs' phone were videos of the March 15, 2019, attack on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in which suspected white supremacist Brenton Tarrant, 29, killed 51 people and live-streamed the massacre on Facebook.
