A Houston man has been charged with trying to plant explosives at the statue of Confederate officer Richard Dowling in Hermann Park, federal officials said Monday.
Andrew Schneck, 25, who was released from probation early last year after being convicted in 2015 of storing explosives, was charged in a criminal complaint filed in federal court, Acting U.S. Attorney Abe Martinez said in a statement Monday.
Schneck was arrested Saturday night after a Houston park ranger spotted him kneeling in bushes in front of the Dowling monument in the park, Martinez said.
When confronted Saturday night in the park, he tried to drink some of the liquid explosives but spit it out, officials said.

One friend who knew Schneck from their years together at Memorial High School in Spring Branch ISD described him as an awkward loner who never had a girlfriend and seemed to struggle with social interactions.
"I can't even think of a single friend he had, to be perfectly honest," he said.
He was nicknamed Ace from his initials.
"None of this is surprising," the former classmate added. "He seems a bit disconnected from reality."
During their senior year of high school, according to Schneck's classmate, the awkward teen wrote a "manifesto" dedicated to some of the school's popular girls, decrying how their boyfriends treated them and saying he could have done better.

Too bad he was spending all those years studying the blade.

Apparently the school nerds were not the ones who gave him the nickname.

Didn't have enough Bama in him

Weird part was that he already had a run in with LE about explosives. Enjoy prison sukka.

this twat lives in his parents $2M+ home a couple blocks from my house. The freaking FBI,police, and every division you could think of has had the street shut down since yesterday. The paper said the same house was raided a couple years ago, its been a major PITA to navigate around the neighborhood which is usually incredibly quiet.

Dude just got off of probation from the previous incident. I guess his rehabilitation didn't take. Let's see how the penitentiary fares with him.

Frankly I am shocked that the Park Rangers hadn't been instructed to assist anyone attacking the statues.

Seriously though, did he change his last name or something?

I'd like to know his middle name to make a complete judgement, but as of now, it seems stupid.
