A globetrotting former U.S. soldier turned mercenary appeared in federal court Monday to face a slew of charges, including murder, in three states reportedly as part of his quest to fight with foreign militaries.
Craig Austin Lang, 34, of Surprise, Arizona, appeared in Florida, but also faces the charges in Arizona and North Carolina for what prosecutors detail as an intricate crime spree starting in 2018.

Alleged in the indictments, Craig Austin Lang went on an international crime spree that included a double murder in Florida.  He attempted to travel internationally to engage in other acts of violence outside the United States, and a plot to evade law enforcement detection by trading guns, a grenade, and cash to use another person’s identifying information to apply for a U.S. passport under an assumed name,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.
