KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (WNCN) — A man was arrested in Kannapolis with a van full of guns and explosives with plans to carry out an act of terrorism, including trying to assassinate Joe Biden, court documents allege.

According to court documents, the man, identified as Alexander Hillel Treisman, also possessed multiple child pornography files. Treisman also used the alias, Alexander S. Theiss and used a different birthdate for the disguise.

Court documents allege that Treisman made multiple internet searches on Biden’s home address, researched state gun laws, rifle parts, and night vision goggles. Federal agents also say he posted a social media meme saying “should I kill joe biden?”

READ THE FULL COURT ORDER

In the order, a federal magistrate judge outlined the reasons why Treisman should continue to be held in jail on child pornography charges, which he had been facing before the arrest.

A total of 1,248 videos and 6,721 images of child pornography content were found on Treisman’s devices, in addition to 637 videos and images of child pornography containing sadism and/or masochism content, documents read.

An FBI agent testified that in May, an abandoned white Ford van was spotted by employees of a nearby bank and Kannapolis police was called to the scene.

Through the windows, officers observed an AR-15 style rifle, a box for a Taurus .380 handgun, a cannister of the explosive material Tannerite, and a box of 5.56 caliber ammunition.

The bank manager requested that police tow the van before an inventory search was conducted on the vehicle, court documents say.

The search revealed, in addition to the items seen through the windows, approximately $509,000 of U.S. currency (believed to be Defendant’s inheritance), books (about survival, bomb-making, improvised weapons and Islam), drawings of swastikas and planes crashing into buildings, and the following firearms: a Sig Sauer AR rifle, an Intratec 9mm Luger, a Lower AR receiver, a Kel-Tec Sub-2000, a .22 caliber rifle marked ArchAngel and a Russian Mosin Nagant M91/30 bolt action rifle, according to court documents referencing the agent’s testimony.

When Treisman was arrested, the order said, officers, found drivers licenses from three different states.

The order said agents also discovered he had purchased the various weapons in states across the country, including Washington, Kansas, New Hampshire and West Virginia.

The order said agents found child pornography on eight different electronic devices, along with other pictures and posts related to plans and ideas for possible terrorist acts, including the following:

In court, Theisman’s lawyer asked a testifying officer if he was aware that he had been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome at age twelve. The officer says he asked Theisman about any mental health issues, to which he allegedly denied having any.

Treisman has not been charged with any crime related to his possession of the guns or other evidence the agents found.
