🔗 Share this article US Man Connected to Australian Gunmen Strikes Plea Bargain with Prosecutors An American citizen linked with the perpetrators behind the deadly Wieambilla, Australia shooting that took the lives of six individuals – including two Queensland police officers – has agreed to a less severe plea deal. Arizona-based Donald Day Jr will face court on October 21 after finalizing the bargain with US prosecutors. The convicted felon, referred to online as “Geronimo’s Bones”, is anticipated to admit guilt to a single charge of illegally owning guns and bullets in a arrangement to be sanctioned by the judiciary this month. Connections to Aussie Gunmen Authorities established direct links between Day and the Train couple through online posts. The Trains, along with Gareth’s brother Nathaniel, murdered Queensland police officers Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow, and neighbour Alan Dare at a isolated location in Wieambilla, Queensland in 2022. The Trains were killed in a gun battle with police, following a protracted siege at the rural site. US prosecutors stated the accused communicated via online platforms with the perpetrators during the period of the deadly ambush. Day described Queensland officers as “evil, corrupt, and wicked”, and said they should be shown “absolutely no quarter”, informing them he desired to be at the scene in person. Court documents detailed how the couple had posted an apocalyptic video on the video platform after the shootings, stating authorities “attempted to kill us, and we retaliated”. “Failing to stand against these evil forces makes one a coward … we’ll see you at home, Don. Love you,” the Trains said. Firearms Cache and Legal Proceedings Legal records show the defendant stockpiled a cache of multiple powerful guns and numerous bullets of ammunition at a country estate in Heber, AZ, that was outfitted with a gun range, gun room and sniper’s nest. “The guns and ammo were stored in the trailer I occupied with S.S., within a space we named the 'gun room',” he said in the agreement filed in the legal system. He said he regularly accessed both the weapons storage and the firearms, and also instructed individuals on how to use the firearms properly. The bargain will lead to charges dropped that relate to the alleged issuing threats to public figures and FBI agents. According to legal files, the individual had been prohibited from possessing weapons and firearms because of his history of violent crimes. The defendant, who has completed two years in detention, faces a highest sentence of up to 15 years in jail or a fine of $250,000 (A$381,500), but the plea deal stipulates he will be sentenced under the low end of the sentencing guidelines.
