WASHINGTON ? A map of President Bush's motorcade to Camp David was found last week in the possession of a teenager accused of stockpiling weapons and bomb-making materials, according to prosecutors.
With the possibility that the motorcade was a target, federal authorities have joined police in investigating Collin Matthew McKenzie-Gude, 18, who allegedly was storing the weapons and materials just outside Washington, D.C., at the Bethesda, Md., home where he lives with his parents.
MyFOXDC.com reports that Assistant State's Attorney Peter Feeney disclosed the discovery of the map of Camp David during a court hearing on Tuesday in Rockville, Md. The map was marked with a motorcade route to the secluded presidential compound in western Maryland, about an hour's drive from Washington.
Police also reportedly discovered range-finding binoculars, a CIA identification and a Geneva Convention ID, like ones given to contractors in Iraq.
The CIA and Defense Department have started their own investigations of McKenzie-Gude and an unnamed 17-year-old male, who also has been charged in the case. The FBI and ATF are reviewing the case but haven't launched its own investigation, sources tell FOX News.
The unnamed juvenile, while working as a police intern, allegedly took official stationery to help McKenzie-Gude obtain chemicals and police equipment, including bullet-resistant vests.
Police found four assault rifles, two shotguns, one handgun and ammunition for the weapons, along with "chemicals and components commonly used to manufacture homemade explosives" at McKenzie-Gude's home, according to a Montgomery County police news release.
Police said they also have uncovered a list of home addresses of faculty at the teenagers' school, St. John's College High School ? McKenzie-Gude is a graduate ? though no connection between the list and the weapons has been identified.
"We have found no further evidence regarding St. John's high school, so this is a very critical factor in this investigation to try to determine what the purpose was by these two young men by acquiring very dangerous weapons and chemicals," Montgomery County police spokeswoman Lucille Bauer said earlier this week.
McKenzie-Gude's father, Joseph Lane Gude Jr., also is charged in the case. Police say he illegally bought firearms for his son.
McKenzie-Gude, who is being held on $750,000 bail, faces additional charges for allegedly setting off an explosive in a field and trying to steal a car from a 78-year-old man.
