Anthony Hayne is an anarchist accused of conspiring and attempting to destroy the Brecksville-Northfield High Level Bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, approximately 15 miles south of downtown Cleveland, Ohio.

The bridge connects Brecksville, Ohio to Sagamore Hills, Ohio, over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

The group allegedly purchased inoperable explosive devices from an undercover FBI employeed, and later attempted to use them.

Trial
Hayne plead guity to three charges: conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, attempted use of weapons of mass destruction, and malicious use of an explosive device to destroy property used in interstate commerce.
