Neo-Nazi group founder pleads guilty to explosives charges

The leader of a small Florida-based neo-Nazi group pleads guilty to charges associated with having explosives in his apartment’s garage.

Court documents show that Brandon Russell entered his pleas in a federal courtroom in Tampa. He faces up to 11 years in federal prison on charges of possessing illegal firearms and a destructive device, and storing explosives.

The bomb-making materials — including the highly explosive substance HMTD, several pounds of ammonium nitrate and homemade fuses — were discovered during a murder investigation involving Russell’s roommate, Devon Arthurs.
