ORLANDO, Fla. — An Orlando man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for attacking the power grid in Maryland.
Brandon Russell targeted five electrical stations in Baltimore in 2023, motivated by his white supremacist beliefs, according to prosecutors.
Investigators said he encouraged an ex-girlfriend to carry out a series of “sniper attacks” on electrical substations around Baltimore.
Their goal was to cause significant damage to the infrastructure, leading to community violence.
His accomplice involved in the attack is already serving an 18-year sentence.
