MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) A man with connections to a white supremacy group was arrested in Myrtle Beach Wednesday after purchasing a gun from an undercover FBI agent, apparently intending to commit an attack in the spirit of Dylann Roof.
On December 26, 2016, McDowell posted to Facebook a message: I love love to act what u think, followed by a link to the Temple Emanu-El Conservative Synagogue in Myrtle Beach, according to court documents obtained by WMBF News. Horry County Police indicated to the FBI that McDowell had established White Supremacy Extremist connections while serving in prison in South Carolina for various criminal offenses. He also had tattoos indicating an affiliation with these groups.
According to the federal complaint document, on January 5, 2017, McDowell posted to Facebook an anti-semetic screed referencing Dylann Roof, which included the statement: you want to post if you aint got the heart to fight for Yahweh like dylann roof did you need to shut the f***** up
...McDowell first met with the undercover FBI agent on January 12, believing that the agent handled problems for the Aryan Nations, the court document states. The agent met with McDowell at a Myrtle Beach hotel and discussed obtaining a gun, saying that he didnt want it being traced back to him. McDowell said he didnt want an attack coming back to him either, and he wanted to be scot-free. He emphasized that he did not want to get caught and go back to jail.
