The alleged leader of a self-declared “vegan transgender anarchist rationalist” group linked to several homicides faces new indictments in a Maryland court.

Nine gun-related misdemeanor charges were added to the case against Jack Amadeus LaSota, 34, which was elevated from Allegany County District Court to Allegany Circuit Court on March 19. The new charges include carrying concealed and loaded handguns, and possession of an assault weapon.
