Federal agents arrested a 24-year-old Tennessee man on Nov. 2 in connection to an alleged plot to destroy an energy facility in Nashville with a weapon of mass destruction.
The FBI undercover agents uncovered Skyler Philippi’s alleged plan to attack a Nashville power grid, and arrested him moments before he was about to strap explosives onto a drone in Franklin, Tennessee, and deploy them to their intended targets, according to a Nov. 4 statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Middle District of Tennessee.
