GREENBELT, Md. - The latest on the case against a Coast Guard Officer accused of stockpiling guns and compiling a hit list of prominent Democrats (all times local):

2 p.m.

A Coast Guard lieutenant accused of being a white supremacist who stockpiled guns and compiled a hit list of prominent Democrats will remain detained in federal custody after his arrest.

Federal Magistrate Judge Charles Day ordered 49-year-old Christopher Paul Hasson held Thursday but said he might be willing to reconsider later if the government hasn’t charged him with more serious crimes in the next two weeks.

Hasson was arrested Friday on gun and drug charges, but prosecutors say those offences are the “proverbial tip of the iceberg.”

In a court filing, prosecutors say Hasson has espoused extremist views for years and drafted an email in which he said he was “dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on the earth.”

Prosecutors say federal agents found 15 firearms and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition inside Hasson’s Maryland apartment.

Federal authorities say a Coast Guard officer who espoused white supremacist views and dreamed of mass murder drew up a computer-spreadsheet hit list of Democratic politicians and TV journalists.

Lt. Christopher Paul Hasson, who worked at Coast Guard headquarters in Washington as an acquisitions officer on a program to equip the agency with advanced new cutters, faces a federal court hearing Thursday on gun and drug offences.

But prosecutors say those charges are just “tip of the iceberg.”

The 49-year-old Hasson was arrested last week.
