Authorities say 24-year-old David Elmakayes was carrying three additional explosive devices and other weapons when he was arrested shortly after damaging an ATM on Westmoreland Street in North Philadelphia on the night of June 3.
Philadelphia police say 50 ATMs were hit by explosives amid the unrest that struck the nation after George Floyd's death.
U.S. Attorney William McSwain says "blowing up an ATM and illegal firearms possession are not acts of protest against perceived injustice. They are federal felonies and will be treated as such."
If convicted, Elmakayes faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years in prison.
