First a well-known White Nationalist in California was listed as a Trump delegate. Then it was a federally indicted New Hampshire man listed as a Trump alternate. Now it’s 30-year-old Caleb Andrew Bailey, a Maryland man facing federal gun and child porn charges. The government alleges he had explosive material, an AK-47 machine gun and he had engaged in child pornography.
The investigation began when a postal worker noticed the contents of a “ruptured” package:
According to the four count indictment and court documents, on February 18, 2016, postal police and postal inspectors responded to a postal facility in Capital Heights, Maryland and recovered ammunition and explosives from a package that had ruptured open. ATF was notified by the postal inspectors and responded to evaluate the contents of the package. The contents of the package included 119 rounds of reloaded .50 caliber cartridges with M48A1 incendiary projectiles, and 200 rounds of 14.5mm M183A1 spotting projectiles which contain an explosive charge. The package was addressed to an individual in Wisconsin.
According to the Maryland State Board of Elections, he is current Trump delegate.
More from the Department of Justice press release:
The indictment further alleges that from March 2015 to January 2016, Bailey attempted to use and did use a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct to produce child pornography. The indictment also alleges that Bailey possessed child pornography.
Bailey faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for unlawful transport of explosives by a non-licensee and for illegal possession of a machine gun; a mandatory minimum of 15 years and a maximum of 30 years in prison for production and attempted production of child pornography; and a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for possessing child pornography. A criminal complaint was filed on May 6, 2016 charging Bailey with unlawful transport of explosives. Bailey is detained pending a detention hearing on May 24, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, at which time his initial appearance is also scheduled.
