CHARLOTTE -- A Charlotte, North Carolina, man has been convicted by a jury in Ohio of conspiring to provide material support to ISIS. 

Erick Jamal Hendricks, 37, was found guilty on Tuesday.

“Hendricks used social media to recruit others to plan and carry out attacks on our homeland in the name of ISIS, with the goal of creating a sleeper cell on our soil,” said Assistant Attorney General Demers.  “Thanks to the collaborative efforts of law enforcement, Hendricks’ plan was thwarted, and with today’s verdict he is being held accountable for his terrorist activities.”

Hendricks' sentencing date has not yet been released.
