WAKEFIELD, Mass. — Legal troubles are piling up for the Rise of the Moors, the self-proclaimed Rhode Island-based militia group that recently led Massachusetts State Police on an hours-long standoff on Route 128 in Wakefield. The State of Rhode Island has obtained arrest warrants for group leader Jamal Lattimer Bey and group member Quinn Cumberlander, also known as Quinn Khabir.
The R.I. Attorney General is charging Cumberlander with three counts of using a false address to buy firearms from a Warwick gun dealer. And Lattimer Bey is facing charges of violating his bail while awaiting trial on pending criminal charges.
Both men are held without bail as they await trial for the July 3 standoff with Mass State Police that saw Route 128 in Wakefield shut down for hours.
