(KFOR) A 20-year-old Blanchard man is facing up to 45 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to plotting a terrorist attack inspired by ISIS and downloading child pornography, while living a double life his family was seemingly unaware of.
Federal court documents unsealed this week, obtained by News 4, reveal disturbing details about the allegations against 20-year-old Landon Swinford, who admitted to federal authorities that he wanted to carry out an attack at the University of Oklahoma’s Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in 2023.
According to the FBI’s newly released affidavit, when Swinford wasn’t busy telling people online to “spice up your autumn with some cold-hearted jihad” while scouting places to attack and make himself “a martyr for the cause of Allah” — he was downloading and watching child pornography, and going out of his way to keep the childhood bedroom he still lived in at his parents’ home clean of evidence, so he wouldn’t get grounded.
