Overview

• Andrew Scott Hastings, 25, was arrested after a federal complaint was unsealed on Sept. 24 in the Northern District of Oklahoma.
• He is charged with attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization and illegal possession or transfer of a machinegun.
• Court records say he communicated with an undercover agent he believed had al-Qaida contacts and discussed 3-D printed firearms, machinegun conversion devices known as switches, and drones.
• Surveillance documented two postal shipments containing more than 100 3-D printed switches, two printed lower receivers, a handgun slide, and other parts allegedly destined for al-Qaida.
• Investigators say he served in the Army National Guard with a security clearance and failed to report foreign travel, and the case is being led by the FBI’s Tulsa Joint Terrorism Task Force with federal prosecutors, with Hastings presumed innocent.
