🔗 Share this article American Man Linked to Australian Shooters Strikes Plea Deal with Federal Attorneys An American citizen associated with the perpetrators behind the fatal Wieambilla, Australia attack that took the lives of six individuals – including two officers from Queensland – has accepted a watered-down plea agreement. Arizona-based Donald Day Jr will appear in court on 21 October after finalizing the plea deal with American authorities. The convicted felon, referred to online as “Geronimo's Bones”, is expected to plead guilty to a sole charge of illegally owning guns and bullets in a deal to be approved by the court in the current month. Connections to Aussie Gunmen Investigators confirmed direct links between the defendant and the Train couple through digital communications. The Trains, along with Gareth’s brother Nathaniel, killed officers from Queensland Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow, and neighbour Alan Dare at a remote property in Wieambilla, Queensland in 2022. They were fatally shot in a gun battle with police, following a extended standoff at the regional property. US prosecutors stated Day communicated via online platforms with the Trains around the time of the fatal attack. He referred to Queensland police as “evil, corrupt, and wicked”, and declared they should be shown “no mercy whatsoever”, telling the Trains he desired to be at the scene physically. Court documents detailed how the couple had uploaded an apocalyptic recording on the video platform after the incident, stating police “attempted to kill us, and we retaliated”. “If you don’t defend yourself against these devils and demons, you’re a coward … We will meet you at home, Don. With love,” they expressed. Firearms Cache and Court Case Legal records reveal Day stockpiled a cache of multiple powerful guns and hundreds of rounds of ammo at a rural property 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 said in the plea deal filed in court. Day said he regularly accessed both the gun room and the firearms, and also instructed individuals on how to use the firearms properly. The bargain will result in dismissed counts that pertain to the accused making of threats to officials and federal agents. According to court documents, the individual had been prohibited from owning guns and arms because of his violent criminal history. Day, who has served 24 months in detention, faces a maximum penalty of up to 15 years imprisonment in prison or a penalty of US$250,000 (A$381,500), but the agreement specifies he will be judged under the low end of the sentencing guidelines.
