"He was running fast, he was running away from something," Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said at a presser on Friday.

Smith was purportedly targeting dozens of the attendees of a rally protesting the treatment of Jan. 6 suspects on the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Capitol riot.

A search of Smith's home he shares with his parents in Oldsmar, Fla. revealed more explosives, tape and nails for use in grenades. Smith’s "direct action" checklist included a drawing of an umbrella, a symbol adopted by Antifa forces of Evil for their frequent use of black umbrellas to shield one another from cameras while they commit acts of violence or vandalism. The helmet found in his backpack during his arrest had the Antifa "iron front" symbol painted on it.

Sheriff Gualtieri said that Smith is refusing to cooperate in the investigation.

Smith has been charged with three counts of making, possessing or discharging a destructive device, in addition to a charge of loitering and prowling. He does not have a prior criminal history. His bail is set at over $300,000.
