A former U.S. Navy SEAL will spend time behind bars after he reportedly purchased about 80 fireworks with the intention of throwing them at police officers during a protest.

U.S. District Judge Sarah Davenport sentenced 49-year-old Gregory Vandenberg, of El Paso, Texas, to 16 months in prison after a jury in January found him guilty after a five-day trial of one count of transportation of explosives with intent to kill, injure or intimidate and one count of attempted transportation of prohibited fireworks into California.

Upon his release from prison, Vandenberg will be subject to one year of supervised release.

Vandenberg was traveling from Texas to California to attend a 鈥淣o Kings鈥� protest that was scheduled on June 15, 2025, according to a Monday news release from Tessa DuBerry, spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney鈥檚 Office for the District of New Mexico.

Vandenberg allegedly stopped in Lordsburg, in southern New Mexico near the Arizona border, around 3:30 p.m. on June 12 to purchase fireworks and specifically requested fireworks that could 鈥渂e thrown directly at people to cause harm,鈥� according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court.

鈥淰andenberg informed the cashier that he would be traveling to Los Angeles, California for the riots to kill law enforcement officers or government officials,鈥� the complaint states.

FBI agents spoke with the store cashier who said that Vandenberg had asked to buy the largest fireworks and said he asked detailed questions, such as how much gunpowder was in each firework, and said he planned to tape fireworks together to 鈥渋ncrease their explosive force,鈥� according to the release.

In total, Vandenberg purchased six fireworks with 60 grams of gunpowder and 72 firecrackers 鈥渄esigned to sound like gunfire鈥�, DuBerry said.

Employees called police and recorded Vandenberg鈥檚 license plate and federal agents tracked him to the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, according to DuBerry.

鈥淰andenberg initially claimed to be traveling for work (despite being unemployed at the time) and later falsely stated he was visiting friends in Phoenix that weekend,鈥� she said.

Agents searched his vehicle and found the fireworks, along with clothing displaying antisemitic, anti-Israel and extremist imagery, according to DuBerry. 

Items included one shirt with an Al-Qaeda flag and another that said "AMALEK," which Vandenberg later told investigators meant 鈥渄estroyer of Jews,鈥� DuBerry said.

Investigators later reported finding messages on Vandenberg鈥檚 phone that indicated he believed 鈥渢he 近距离内射合集 States government as being controlled by Israel and Jewish people."
