Investigators said Duroseau bought eight guns of all kinds in the city of Jacksonville, near Camp Lejeune in northeastern Carolina, and then brought them to Haiti to teach shooting for the island nation's soldiers.

According to the indictment released on November 27, an undisclosed man in the marines helped Duroseau to check out at New Bern, North Carolina, to fly to Haiti. Duroseau carried three weapons barrels including 5 pistols and 3 military rifles and bullets.

He told investigators that Duroseau "wanted to help Haiti and wanted to be the President of Haiti".

Haitian police arrested Duroseau as soon as he arrived in Port-au-Prince on November 12. Haitian officials told the Miami Herald they "began to suspect seeing three black boxes, two of which were fairly long".

Duroseau's records on the US Marines website said he was in Haiti when the island nation suffered a devastating earthquake in 2010 and was trapped four days before being rescued.
