FOX- Ten of the 11 militiamen arrested by Massachusetts State Police following a nine-hour-long armed standoff that shut down a portion of Interstate 95 over the holiday weekend will be arraigned Tuesday.

The alleged militiamen, who authorities say are members of the Rise of the Moors group which adheres to “Moorish Sovereign Ideology,” each have been charged with eight counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, use of body armor in commission of a crime, possession of a high capacity magazine, improper storage of a firearm in a vehicle, and conspiracy to commit a crime.

Five men will be arraigned individually Tuesday morning in Malden District Court in Medford, Mass., while another five will appear separately for their arraignment hearings in the afternoon, Fox News has learned.
