Blanchard Man Admits to ISIS-Inspired Terror Plot Against OU Stadium, Child Pornography Charges

  • In November 2024, Landon Kyle Swinford, an Oklahoma resident, admitted guilt to charges related to possessing illegal images of minors and making threats across state lines after sharing ISIS propaganda and plotting attacks.
  • His communications with an undercover agent began on May 18, 2023, after he shared ISIS-supportive posts and expressed plans to travel abroad for combat, as well as intentions to carry out attacks, including targeting the football stadium where the University of Oklahoma hosts its games.
  • Swinford admitted scouting the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman and identified security vulnerabilities, while also discussing plans for attacks in New Orleans and at a voodoo temple during Mardi Gras.
  • He completed a money transfer as a travel deposit, told the undercover officer he 'sadly' would have carried out the Oklahoma stadium attack if financially able, and faces up to 10 years in prison.
  • Swinford awaits sentencing, highlighting ongoing federal efforts to counter ISIS-inspired domestic threats and the combination of terroristic actions with child exploitation offenses in this case.
