Six people have been indicted by Federal authorities in the investigation surrounding the murder of Daniel Simonds at his home in May.
Federal authorities today indicted Alan Jacobs of Hogansburg, Derek Cook of Hogansburg, Chad Edwards of Cornwall, Ontario, Anson Edwards of Cornwall, Ontario, Brian J. Latulipe of Bombay, and Kaientanoron L. “Nolo” Swamp of Snye, Quebec, charging them with conspiring to engage in a Hobbs Act robbery.
Authorities allege that the men were involved in the May 13th attempted robbery at Simonds' home in Stockholm. Simonds was fatally shot during the incident. The suspects were after Simonds' marijuana and cash, but left without either, investigators say.
The Hobbs Act prohibits robbery or extortion that affects interstate and foreign commerce.
The indictment accuses the six and other unknown assailants in the attack on Simonds. Latulipe, Jacobs and Swamp are in custody, with the remaining suspects still at large, Assistant U.S. Attorney John M. Katko said.
