KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - A jury convicted Georgia man Darren Huff on Tuesday of a federal firearms charge in what police said was a plot to take over a Tennessee courthouse and force President Barack Obama out of office.
The 41-year-old was found guilty of carrying a firearm in interstate commerce with the intent to use it in a civil disorder. He was acquitted of using a firearm in relation to another felony. He faces up to five years in prison.
Huff was stopped by Tennessee officers in April 2010 and told them he was bringing guns into the state from Dallas, Ga., to support efforts to arrest Monroe County officials who refused to indict Obama.
