According to this article on Associated Press, by Associated Press
“RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Guatemalan immigrant whom police accused of helping to plot a mass shooting in Virginia’s capital on July 4 pleaded guilty Thursday to an immigration charge.
A federal judge accepted Rolman Balcarcel-Bavagas’ plea to a charge of reentering the U.S. after deportation and set sentencing for Nov. 10, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported. Balcarcel-Bavagas, 38, faces up to two years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Neither Balcarcel-Bavagas nor a co-defendant, Julio Alvarado-Dubon, have been charged in direct connection with the alleged plot, and a federal prosecutor made no mention of it Thursday, according to the newspaper.
At a July 6 news conference, police said an Independence Day shooting had been thwarted and announced the men’s arrest. Chief Gerald Smith said a “hero citizen” contacted police after overhearing a conversation about an attack being planned. “
