American Individual Connected to Australian Shooters Secures Plea Deal with Prosecutors

A US man linked with the perpetrators behind the fatal Wieambilla, Australia attack that took the lives of six individuals – including two Queensland police officers – has agreed to a watered-down plea agreement.

Resident of Arizona Donald Day Jr will face court on October 21 after striking the bargain with US prosecutors.

The individual with prior convictions, known online as “Geronimo’s Bones”, is expected to plead guilty to a single charge of unlawfully possessing guns and bullets in a arrangement to be sanctioned by the court in the current month.

Links to Aussie Gunmen

Investigators confirmed clear connections between the defendant and Gareth and Stacey Train through digital communications.

This couple, along with Nathaniel Train, killed Queensland police officers Arnold and McCrow, and neighbor Alan Dare at a isolated location in Wieambilla in 2022.

They were killed in a final shootout with law enforcement, following a extended standoff at the regional property.

American officials stated Day corresponded via social media with the Trains around the time of the fatal attack.

He referred to Queensland officers as “malignant, malformed and malevolent”, and declared they should be shown “absolutely no quarter”, informing them he wanted to be at the scene physically.

Court documents outlined how Gareth and Stacey Train had posted an end-times recording on the video platform after the shootings, stating police “attempted to kill us, and we retaliated”.

“Failing to stand against these evil forces makes one a coward … we’ll see you at home, Don. Love you,” they expressed.

Weapons Stockpile and Legal Proceedings

Court documents reveal Day stockpiled a cache of nine high-powered firearms and numerous bullets of ammo at a country estate in Heber, AZ, that was outfitted with a shooting range, weapons room and sniper’s nest.

“The guns and ammo were stored in the trailer I occupied with S.S., within a space we named the 'gun room',” Day admitted in the agreement filed in the legal system.

He stated he regularly accessed both the weapons storage and the weapons, and also trained individuals on how to operate the firearms properly.

The bargain will lead to charges dropped that pertain to the accused making of threats to public figures and federal agents.

According to legal files, the individual had been prohibited from owning weapons and firearms because of his history of violent crimes.

The defendant, who has completed two years in custody, faces a maximum penalty of up to 15 years in jail or a penalty of US$250,000 (A$381,500), but the plea deal stipulates he will be sentenced under the minimum range of the legal sentencing standards.
