24-Year-Old Fugitive Captured In Denton Following Robbery, Firearm Charges
Police captured a robbery suspect after a manhunt in Denton earlier this week. Officers arrested 24-year-old Corey Momot for robbery on June 16, according to Amy Cunningham, public information liaison for the Denton Police Department. Momot fled from a traffic stop in northeast Denton, but officers captured him after a search. Momot faces charges of robbery, possession of a firearm by a felon, unlawfully discharging a firearm, and evading arrest with previous convictions, according to jail records. He is currently in the Denton County Jail. According to Cunningham, a Denton police officer recognized Momot near 2700 Emerson Lane on June 16. While the officer was waiting for backup, Momot left the scene, so police pulled him over on Old North Road near Mill Pond Road. 'Momot fled during the traffic stop, running toward Emerson Lane before jumping several fences toward Cooper Creek,' Cunningham said. 'Officers set up a perimeter and requested K9 assistance from local agencies.' During the manhunt, Denton police told the public to 'avoid the area.' Nearby residents used the Ring app to warn neighbors to lock their doors as police were 'looking for a suspect that fled.' A K9 unit with the Cooke County Sheriff's Office ultimately found Momot, 'who had concealed himself in brush and dirt near Cooper Creek,' according to Cunningham. Momot was wanted by the Corinth Police Department on a robbery warrant, according to Cunningham, and jail records show he allegedly committed the offense on June 7. Cunningham also said Momot was the suspect in an incident where 'a gunshot was fired at an apartment complex pool' on June 12, though no injuries or damage were reported. After arresting him on the robbery warrant, Denton police added charges for unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful discharge of a firearm, Cunningham said. Jail records show Momot's robbery charge carries a $20,000 bond, and the rest of the charges each carry a $5,000 bond. Momot has a long criminal history in Denton County going back to 2018, according to jail records. Denton County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested Momot in June 2020 for charges including assault with a deadly weapon, deadly conduct, burglary of a motor vehicle, and more, according to jail records. He was released on July 3 of that year after posting a bond. Deputies also arrested him in February 2021 for charges including a 'terroristic threat,' possession of drug paraphernalia, and more. He was released on May 11 that year. Texas Department of Public Safety troopers arrested Momot in October 2021 for charges including violating bond and 'bail jumping.' He was released on November 22, 2022. Momot has been arrested various other times in the past.

Oklahoma based Afghan national pleads guilty to Election Day terror plot
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — 27-year-old Nasir Ahmed Tawhedi entered a guilty plea in federal court on Friday. An Oklahoma judge accepted a two-count plea, declaring Tawhedi guilty to one count of conspiracy and attempt to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, specifically, ISIS. The second count was for receiving, conspiring to receive, and attempting to receive firearms and ammunition for use in a federal crime of terrorism, specifically conspiring and attempting to provide material support and resources to ISIS. Tawhedi, living in Oklahoma City, was arrested in October 2024 for planning an Election Day terror attack on behalf of ISIS, the U.S. Department of Justice said. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: New details after Election Day terror suspect's hearing The DOJ said Tawhedi liquidated his family's assets and resettled his family members in preparation for the attack. The FBI found messages between Tawhedi and an unnamed person with ties to ISIS. They also reportedly found a video of Tawhedi reading a text to two children that 'describes the rewards a martyr receives in the afterlife,' as well as saved ISIS propaganda on his iCloud and Google account. Tawhedi walked into a federal courtroom on Friday in an orange jumpsuit with his hands and legs chained together. 'The defendants have now admitted their guilt in this violent conspiracy, which was to be carried out on behalf of ISIS, and they will soon face the consequences,' said Doug Goodwater, Special Agent in Charge from the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office. Under oath, Tawhedi admitted to plotting the Election Day terrorist attack with his brother-in-law, Abudllah Haji Zada, after claiming innocence in November. Tawhedi said he purchased two AK-47 rifles and 500 rounds of ammunition on October 7, 2024, a month before the 2024 Presidential Election. Robert Troester, the United States Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma, said, 'These guilty pleas serve as an emphatic reminder that the Department of Justice and its law enforcement partners will aggressively pursue those who attempt to harm Americans through terrorist acts.' A federal judge asked why the attack was planned. Tawhedi said it was intended to retaliate against the United States Government for supporting Israel during its war with Hamas in Gaza. Tawhedi also confirmed that the intent of the attack was to kill as many people as possible. Before agreeing to a plea deal, Tawhedi faced three felony counts, with a maximum sentence of 55 years. He's now pleaded guilty to two felony counts, with a 35-year max sentence. The date for sentencing has not been announced. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
