CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) -
A Charlotte man was arrested Thursday morning on a federal complaint charging him with conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL), a designated foreign terrorist organization.
According to federal officials, 35-year-old Erick Jamal Hendricks tried to recruit people to train together and conduct terrorist attacks in the United States on behalf of ISIL.
"He hadn't attended any area Islamic centers and he had only been in Charlotte for three weeks" a spokesperson for the Islamic Center of Charlotte said.
Hendricks' stepson, who was in court when the 35 year old went before a federal Judge, told reporters he believes his step-father is innocent, and that it's a case of mistaken identity.
