Twenty-three-year-old Abdul Raheem Habil Ali-Skelton pleaded guilty Wednesday in US District Court to one count of making a false statement to FBI agents. He faces up to eight years in prison.

Last month, Ali-Skelton was charged in state court after allegedly threatening to "shoot up" a Walgreens in a Minneapolis suburb. He pleaded guilty Monday to making terroristic threats in that incident.
