More Arrests in White Supremacist Investigation

Three more people have been arrested in an FBI led investigation into what authorities say is a domestic terrorist group in Osceola County.

Authorities arrested 27-year-old Christopher Brooks, 21-year-old Dustin Perry and 23-year-old Richard Stockdale late Monday.

The three men were charged under Florida's anti paramilitary training act.

They also face charges of attempting to shoot into and occupied dwelling, and evidence of prejudice while committing offense, or hate crime.

The Orange-Osceola Clerk of Court now lists 12 people as co-defendants on the charges.

Three of the suspects are linked to the American Front group, which authorities say is a white supremacist, domestic terrorist organization.

 An arrest warrant affidavit alleges one of the group's leaders, Marcus Faella, conducted firearms, explosives and military training at his rural St, Cloud property, which was fortified with entrenchments and stocked with ammunition and ready to eat meals.

According to the document, Faella was preparing for a "race war".
