BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Six men described as members of a self-styled militia pleaded not guilty to federal charges brought following the seizure of an arsenal of weapons in raids in four Alabama counties.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Armstrong Jr. set a July 9 trial date Thursday for five of the men, who were indicted on federal charges of conspiring to make a firearm.
The five — Adam Cunningham, 41; Raymond K. Dillard, 46; James McElroy, 20; Bonnell Hughes, 57; and Randall Cole, 22 — have been held without bond after federal agents said they were members of an anti-government Free Militia group and had plans to attack Mexicans.
