The trio is accused of supporting ISIS and jihad and their terrorist acts, and practicing firing weapons prior to Hubbard’s move to Syria.
Ex-Marine Gregory Hubbard, also known as “Jibreel,” 54, of West Palm Beach, was arrested on July 21, 2016, at Miami International Airport where he had a scheduled flight to Berlin, Germany, and then to Syria, to join ISIS.
Dayne Antani Christian, also known as “Shakur,” 33, of Lake Park, and Darren Arness Jackson, also known as “Daoud,” 53, of West Palm Beach, pleaded guilty in 2017 for their roles in the conspiracy.
Christian and Jackson also offered full cooperation and received eight years in prison and four years in prison, respectively, and five years of supervised release each.
Hubbard was sentenced to 12 years in prison, to be followed by a lifetime of supervised release.
The men were arrested in a collaborative effort among the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF); Transportation Security Administration; Miami International Airport Police Department; Boca Raton Police Department; Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office; City of West Palm Beach Police Department; and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
