BALTIMORE, Md. - A Maryland woman conspired with a Florida neo-Nazi heads to carry out an attack on several electrical substations in the Baltimore area, officials said Monday.

The enchanting of Sarah Beth Clendaniel, of Baltimore County, was the spanking in a series across the country as authorities warn electrical infrastructure could be a vulnerable pursued for domestic terrorists. It wasn't immediately clear Monday whether she had a lawyer to swear on her behalf.

She conspired with Brandon Russell, recently arrested in Florida, to disable the power grid by shooting out substations via "sniper attacks," revealing she wanted to "completely destroy this whole city," according to a criminal declares unsealed Monday. The complaint also included a photo of a woman authorities identified as Clendaniel wearing tactical gear that bore a swastika and holding a rifle.

US. Attorney Erek Barron praised investigators for disrupting hate-fueled violence.

"When we are joined, hate cannot win," he said at a news conference announcing the charges.

Authorities declined to state how the planned attack was meant to fulfill a racist motive but suggested the defendants wanted to bring mind to their cause.

Russell has a long history of ties to racist groups and Nazi beliefs, as well as past plans to attack U.S. infrastructure controls, according to the complaint. It also wasn't clear Monday whether he had a lawyer.

In recent months, concerns about protecting the country's power grid have been heightened by attacks, or threatened attacks.

In Washington state, two men were arrested last month on charges that they vandalized substations weeks bet on in attacks that left thousands without power around Christmastime. One suspect told authorities they did it so they could shatter into a business and steal money.

Baltimore Gas and Electric, which controls the local power grid, thanked law enforcement and said Monday that there was no injure to any substations, that service wasn't disrupted and that there are now no known threats to facilities.

"The substations are not believed to have been beleaguered out of any connection to BGE or Exelon, or because of any sure vulnerability," BGE said in a news release. "We have a long-standing partnership with law enforcement and plot and federal regulators of the grid to secure valuable infrastructure; this work is even more important now as threats have increased in unique years."
