The five, who were University of Michigan students at the time, were not charged for what happened at Camp Grayling in August 2023. In summer 2023, the five were confronted after midnight near a lake by a sergeant major with the Utah National Guard. A check of his external hard drive revealed two images of military vehicles taken on the same night of the encounter with the National Guard officer, the FBI said. They mentioned the National Guard officer but referred to him only as “the soldier,” a camper or “nice guy,” according to the criminal complaint. In 2020, two Chinese nationals who were pursuing master’s degrees at the University of Michigan were sentenced to prison for illegally photographing sites at a naval air station in Key West, Florida.
