American River College student Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab, 23, was arrested Jan. 7 in Sacramento, after a criminal complaint was filed against him for terrorism-related charges in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, according to Milwaukee-based FOX6 news.

Local TV news station FOX40 reported it obtained information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office that Al-Jayab, a former Milwaukee resident, allegedly traveled to Turkey from Chicago and stayed there from early November 2013 into January 2014.

Al-Jayab is being held in the Sacramento County Jail without bail and is also facing up to eight years in prison for lying to federal officials, according to FOX6.

FOX6 reported a criminal complaint from the Office of the United States Attorney Eastern District of California, in which Al-Jayab claimed the trip to Turkey was to visit his sick grandmother when being interviewed by federal officials.
