Enrique Marquez, a neighbor and friend of alleged San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook, pleaded not guilty to five charges during his arraignment hearing in court on Wednesday. Marquez is accused of plotting two terror attacks with Farook in 2011 or 2012, buying the rifles used in the 2015 attacks on the behalf of Farook, and being involved in a "sham marriage" with one of Farook's family members. Court documents show that Marquez claimed he had given the guns to Farook "for safe storage" because he couldn't have them at home around his younger brothers.
Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, died in a shootout with police after they allegedly opened fire at a holiday party at Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California, killing 14.
