Lake Ethan Roberts, a 26-year-old from Kansas City, has been charged in federal court with possessing unregistered destructive devices. The charges stem from an incident on May 14, where he allegedly detonated two homemade explosive devices during a meeting with an undercover law enforcement officer in Richmond, Missouri. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Roberts is linked to a group known as the 'Red Legs,' which has reportedly been active since at least November 2023. This group is accused of engaging in discussions about committing violent acts against various government entities, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the National Guard. During the meeting, Roberts allegedly presented two devices wrapped in duct tape, which he described as 'alcohol shooters filled with black powder surrounded with steel BBs.' The FBI later confirmed that these devices qualified as improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Roberts faces a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
