ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A Virginia man who has been linked by the FBI to a violent neo-Nazi group pleaded guilty on Tuesday to gun charges.
Andrew Thomasberg, 21, faces a maximum of 20 years in prison following his guilty plea at the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia. His sentencing is set for Feb. 28.
An FBI agent has said Thomasberg joined a neo-Nazi group, Atomwaffen Division, shortly after attending the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that erupted in violence in 2017. Atomwaffen has been linked to several killings, including the 2017 shooting deaths of two men at an apartment in Tampa, Florida.
In September, FBI agents searched the home Thomasberg shares with his mother and stepfather and recovered more than 20 guns, including six in Thomasberg’s room. Investigators also found a loaded pistol in the glove compartment of his car.
