Bond Denied For Escambia Man Charged In Federal ISIS Investigation
August 3, 2016
Bond has been denied for an Escambia County man suspected of supporting ISIS and then lying out it to the FBI.
A federal judge ruled that Robert Blake Jackson, 31, was a danger to the community and would not likely appear at future court hearings. He was arrested on a charge of making materially false statements in a federal investigation.
According to the criminal complaint affidavit, on several occasions in 2014 and 2015, Jackson made Facebook postings expressing support for extremist terrorist groups and stating a desire to assist the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS or ISIL). The affidavit also alleges that, in January 2015, a Pensacola telemarketing business reported it had fired Jackson for viewing ISIL and other terrorist-related websites and videos on his work computer. It is further alleged that, when FBI agents interviewed Jackson in June 2015, he denied all these activities.
The punishment for the crime alleged is a maximum of five years in prison.
