   An arrest was announced Sunday after a machete attack on the   
   Appalachian Trail in Virginia left one man dead and a woman   
   seriously injured.   
      
   James Jordan, 30, of West Yarmouth, Mass., was arrested early   
   Saturday on a federal complaint charging him with murder and   
   assault with intent to murder in connection with the “senseless   
   and brutal attack” on the two unidentified hikers, Abingdon U.S.   
   Attorney Thomas Cullen said.   
      
   Jordan was known to hike the Appalachian Trail under the moniker   
   “Sovereign,” WCYB-TV reported. He was arrested in April for   
   threatening hikers on the Appalachian Trail in Tennessee,   
   pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation, according to WJHL-   
   TV.   
      
   “I commend local law enforcement in Wythe and Smyth Counties for   
   mobilizing successful rescue and tactical operations in this   
   remote region,” Cullen said. “Thanks to their efforts, the   
   suspect was safely apprehended and a seriously wounded victim   
   received critical medical care.”   
      
   SHERIFF SAYS MACHETE USED IN ATTACKS ON APPALACHIAN TRAIL   
      
   The victims were hiking together when they were attacked, WSLS-   
   TV reported. Deputies responded sometime after 3:30 a.m.   
      
   The deputies used GPS to find the man in Wythe County after he   
   sent out an emergency notification on his cellphone, the station   
   reported.   
      
   TSA CONFISCATES MASSIVE MACHETE AT CHECKPOINT   
      
   Two hikers helped the woman after she walked six miles injured   
   and bleeding, according to the station.   
      
   After Jordan's April arrest in Unicoi County, Tenn., he pleaded   
   guilty to criminal impersonation, drug possession and public   
   intoxication, WJHL reported. He also was fined as part of his   
   sentence.   
      
   The arrest came after authorities said a hiker calling himself   
   Sovereign who had a pit bull with him had brandished a knife and   
   machete at hikers on the Appalachian Trail in Unicoi County and   
   Madison County, N.C.   
      
   "You had a lot of miscommunication on social media (on Monday)   
   and people wondering if this guy was a threat. He is a threat,"   
   Unicoi Sheriff Mike Hensley told WCYB-TV at that time.

   safe."
