Dugan Ashley of CarniK Con Arrested On Explosives Charges
Summary
Jordan Derrick, known online as Dugan Ashley of the CarniK Con YouTube channel, was charged in the Western District of Missouri on May 12 with manufacturing explosives without a license, unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device, and distributing information relating to explosives under 18 U.S.C. § 842(p). The charges, particularly the last one, have sparked concerns over First Amendment rights, as Derrick's videos were unmonetized and scientific, without advocating violence.
