Allen Wayne Densen Morgan, a 29-year old veteran from Munford, AL pleaded guilty in a federal court on Thursday for attempting to hire what he thought were members of the Ku Klux Klan to kill his neighbor. According to court records, Morgan told an undercover FBI agent posing as a Klansmen that he wanted to see his neighbor “hung from a tree like an animal,” after accusations that the man, a convicted sex offender, had raped Morgan’s wife in August this year.

Documents show that Morgan’s neighbor, Clifford Maurice Mosley, who is African-American, was arrested in 2008 for sexual abuse, which Morgan was aware of. In a statement given by FBI Special Agent Cornelius Harris Jr., Morgan told an undercover FBI agent that he responded to the alleged rape by trying to “force a confrontation” with Mosley on August 22 by firing “multiple rounds of ammunition” at Mosley on the street outside their homes.

Soon after this incident, Harris said that an undercover FBI agent who acknowledged himself as a Klansmen called Morgan to “verify his desire to murder” Mosley. According to the complaint, during that exchange, Morgan described the shooting incident and said that he would meet with the agent on August 25 to arrange the payment. The agent said that he was “en route to Tennessee to pick up a partner to take care of this matter for Morgan.” Harris also wrote that “Morgan advised that he and his family are supportive of the plan to murder Clifford Maurice Mosley,” and added that Morgan’s father-in-law and mother-in-law wanted “to dynamite the entire block”. Harris quoted Morgan as having given explicit instructions on how exactly he wanted Mosley to be killed by the Klan.

As they had agreed, Morgan met with the undercover agent disguised as a Klansman on August 25 at a local motel. Harris told the undercover agents “he would pay them money to commit the murder,” but also informed them “he had no money.” Harris wrote that “He then offered as payment…a watch and a necklace from his person. Additionally, Morgan offered to tender as additional payment, a firearm located at his residence as payment.”

At the end of the meeting, Morgan was arrested and confessed that he “intended” to employ hitmen to murder Mosley. A statement from the Department of Justice said that Morgan has been charged with “one count of using and causing someone else to use interstate facilities and travel – a telephone and a motor vehicle – with the intent to commit a murder-for-hire” in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.

After his guilty plea, Morgan will be sentenced on February 27, 2014.
