While Robles is already facing terrorism-related charges, count one on the indictment accuses the teen of providing support for acts of terrorism. The document claims he “willfully, unlawfully, feloniously, and knowingly or intentionally provided material support or assistance to ISIS…”
The document goes on to detail the many branches of the Islamic State, which prosecutors say Robles supported both financially and on social media.
The second count accuses him of attempting to commit or cause an act of terrorism and describes his target and preparations.
Among the items Robles is accused of assembling: “a floor plan of Chaparral High School, guidebooks, and manuals for constructing explosive or incendiary devices.”
Count three accused Robles of trying to recruit people online to assist in his plot. Records show one chatroom post where the teen writes, “…I will be starting lone wolf operations in Las Vegas against the enemies of Allah. I ask you to make Dua for victory.”
The remaining four counts in the indictment focus on possession of explosive or incendiary devices. Documents describe the devices investigators discovered in Robles’ possession. They include “a metal can with a hole in the bottom and tape over the lid, tape lining the interior of the can containing approximately 63 screws.”
Robles is being held on a $1,000,000 bail. Prosecutors have yet to set a trial date.
