The former neighbor and good friend of Syed Farook, ^ Enrique Marquez, was arrested and charged with straw purchasing, material support for terrorism, and entering a sham marriage (he married Farook's sister-in-law, a Russian woman, so that she could get into the U.S.).
He reportedly waived his Miranda rights and was cooperating with authorities after they raided his family's home and tracked him down shortly after the San Bernadino attack. Marquez had checked himself into a psych facility immediately after the attack was carried out.
Marquez certainly could have been charged earlier, but authorities likely didn't want him to clam up and lawyer-up before they got all that they could from him.
According to an affidavit, Marquez told investigators he and Farook made plans to attack the library or cafeteria at Riverside Community College in California in late 2011.
He and Farook also planned to attack a state highway during rush hour with pipe bombs and shoot at law enforcement and emergency crews as they arrived.
Marquez is the person who purchased the AR-15 rifles for Farook a few years back. Farook was legally eligible to buy the rifles himself, but he had already purchased firearms and was fearful that he'd be questioned if he purchased more, so he implored Marquez to buy them on his behalf.
Marquez claims he was unaware that Farook and his wife Malik were planning the San Bernadino attack.
Marquez and Farook had known each other since they were teens. Farook reportedly introduced Marquez to Islam and radicalism and Marquez converted in 2007.
