It doesn’t come as a shock that Enrique Marquez would have charges filed against him.  As the straw-purchaser for the weapons used he became a co-conspirator.  However, the specific charges have not been released.

( Via Fox News )  The friend of the terrorist couple behind the Dec. 2 attack that left 14 dead in San Bernardino has been arrested in connection with the case, Fox News has confirmed.

Marquez began speaking with federal authorities after they raided his mother’s home over the weekend. Right after the shootings, Marquez called his mother to say he was safe, but that he wouldn’t be coming home, neighbor Lorena Aguirre told The Associated Press. He later checked into a mental health facility. It’s unclear where he is now.

Marquez is also related to Farook by marriage, having wed the sister-in-law of the gunman’s older brother, state records show. The Associated Press reported that Marquez and and his bride, Mariya Chernykh listed their address on the marriage license at the same Corona home where Syed Raheel and Tatiana Farook live. Viviana Ramirez, a friend of Marquez, told the Los Angeles Times that Marquez rarely spoke about his family or his marriage.
