In a concerning development, Jack LaSota, the supposed leader of a cult-like organization dubbed as 'Zizians,' was ordered to be held without bail in Maryland. LaSota, along with two companions, was apprehended over the weekend on charges of trespassing and is believed to be a flight risk.

Authorities have linked the group to a string of gruesome killings across three states. Their violent spree allegedly includes the murder of a California landlord last November and a fatal shootout in Vermont, which claimed the life of a U.S. Border Patrol agent. The recent arrest in Frostburg, Maryland, further solidifies their ties to these acts.

The judiciary remains cautious, given the group's alleged ties to extreme anarchist ideologies and violent activities. Court records paint a portrait of young, technically adept individuals entangled in a web of radical beliefs and criminal actions.
