Dec 18, 2015 12:45 am

Jillian Nadiak is reporting in the Register-Star Eric Feight, of Stockport, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for providing material support to terrorists. He was sentenced in federal court in Albany, Wed., Dec. 16. The control systems engineer participated in a plot to build a remote control for a radiation weapon intended to kill Muslims. He pleaded guilty to the charges in 2014. Feight told U.S. District Judge Gary Sharpe that his co-defendant Glendon Scott Crawford first approached him to help create the mobile X-ray to sterilize medical waste. Only later did Crawford tell him the device could be used to target Muslims. Feight said he was afraid to drop out of the scheme after Crawford introduced him to two supposed investors in the project. Those investors turned out to be FBI undercover agents. Crawford was convicted following a jury trial in August. He faces 25 years in prison at his sentencing in March. Authorities said the device built by Crawford and Feight was inoperable and posed no danger to the public. No one was hurt. Read the full story in the Register-Star.
