This photo is from Joint Base Lewis-McChord surveillance footage of Levi Austin Frakes and Charles Ethan Fields, the two military veteran Nazis who robbed the military base and stole weapons and armor.
The FBI complaint alleges that they both stole equipment and assaulted a soldier on the Army special operations compound.
Prosecutors say Fields and Frakes entered the military base on Sunday evening through the main gate and made their way to a facility used by Charlie Company, 75th Ranger Regiment. The complaint said that the pair were scanned into the main gate of JBLM around 8pm Sunday and that they had allegedly used bolt cutters to break a lock into the Ranger compound.
"The pair allegedly stole military gear after bludgeoning a soldier with a hammer and fleeing the scene.... Before being attacked, the soldier, who was not identified in court documents, confronted the veterans, who were in the process of stealing tens of thousands of dollars worth of ballistic helmets, rifle plates and communications equipment. As the soldier was questioning the pair, ordering them to remove their masks, one of them attacked him, striking him in the head and torso with a hammer. The soldier fought off the attacker, taking the hammer, but "surrendered" as the other assailant was brandishing a knife."
The complaint says that the two of them stole $14,000 worth of gear, but dropped most of it while fleeing. In addition to much of what they stole, Fields left behind a hat that had his last name on it.
During the search of one of their homes, the CID seized 35 weapons, including rifles, pistols, short-barreled rifles, an MG32 machine gun and suppressors (some of which appeared to have been produced using a 3D printer), along with night vision equipment, body armor, flashbang grenades, smoke canisters and blasting caps.
“Images from the complaint also show Nazi and white supremacist paraphernalia in one of the residences, including flags with a swastika and "SS" lightning bolts, murals and literature "in every bedroom and near several stockpiles of weapons and military equipment."
During their interviews, one of the Nazis admitted to the investigators that he had been stealing from the compound for about two years.
Fields and Frakes’ registered company is billed as a "defense manufacturing and training" service which features nazi imagery on its website and socials, listed several military units as "clients," including the 75th Ranger Regiment, U.S. Army Special Forces, 1st Marine Division and the Coast Guard.
