Benjamin Ryan Teeter, 22, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization
MINNEAPOLIS — A North Carolina man and self-described member of an anti-government extremist group who authorities say traveled to Minnesota during protests after the death of George Floyd pleaded guilty Wednesday to a terrorism charge.
Benjamin Ryan Teeter, 22, of Hampstead, N.C., pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization.
Teeter admitted he and another man, Michael Robert Solomon, 30, built firearms suppressors that they delivered to an informant and an undercover FBI employee, believing they were going to Hamas, according to Teeter's plea agreement. Authorities have said the pair also offered to fight as mercenaries for the group.
During his plea hearing, Teeter said he believed the suppressors would be used by Hamas' military wing, according to the Star Tribune.
"I mean, why would someone buy suppressors if they weren’t going to deliver them to a militant wing?" he said.
