RIVERSIDE, Calif. — The man who authorities say bought the assault rifles two other people used in the San Bernardino massacre was ordered held in custody on Monday while he faces terrorism-related charges.
US Magistrate Judge David Bristow ruled that Enrique Marquez poses a continuing danger to the community. His family had sought to put up $100,000 in equity on their home for bail.
Marquez is charged with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists for abandoned plots in 2011 and 2012.
He is also charged with illegally buying the rifles the shooters used in the attack, and visa fraud stemming from his marriage to a Russian woman that prosecutors say was a sham.
Marquez, 24, appeared in in federal court in Riverside, about 10 miles from the site of the Dec. 2 attack. But the proceeding, including a decision on whether to hold him pending trial, was postponed until late morning.
