Collin Matthew McKenzie-Gude
I can’t help but wonder if this might have anything to do with an earlier story this week. FBI Seizes Local Maryland Library Computers
A map of President Bush’s motorcade to Camp David was found last week in the possession of a teenager accused of stockpiling weapons and bomb-making materials, according to prosecutors.
With the possibility that the motorcade was a target, federal authorities have joined police in investigating Collin Matthew McKenzie-Gude, 18, who allegedly was storing the weapons and materials just outside Washington, D.C., at the Bethesda, Md., home where he lives with his parents.
Assistant State’s Attorney Peter Feeney disclosed the discovery of the map of Camp David during a court hearing on Tuesday in Rockville, Md. The map was marked with a motorcade route to the secluded presidential compound in western Maryland, about an hour’s drive from Washington.
Police also reportedly discovered range-finding binoculars, a CIA identification and a Geneva Convention ID, like ones given to contractors in Iraq.
The CIA and Defense Department have started their own investigations of McKenzie-Gude and an unnamed 17-year-old male, who also has been charged in the case. The FBI and ATF are reviewing the case but haven’t launched its own investigation, sources tell FOX News.
The unnamed juvenile, while working as a police intern, allegedly took official stationery to help McKenzie-Gude obtain chemicals and police equipment, including bullet-resistant vests.
Police found four assault rifles, two shotguns, one handgun and ammunition for the weapons, along with “chemicals and components commonly used to manufacture homemade explosives” at McKenzie-Gude’s home, according to a Montgomery County police news release.
Police said they also have uncovered a list of home addresses of faculty at the teenagers’ school, St. John’s College High School — McKenzie-Gude is a graduate — though no connection between the list and the weapons has been identified.

After being described by his attorney as a model student on his way to American University, McKenzie-Gude’s bond was set at $750,000. That’s on charges of attempting to carjack and beating a 78-year-old man in a parking garage at White Flint Mall. He has a separate $115,000 bond on the earlier illegal guns and explosives possession charges.
