All of the offenses are state charges.

Officials believe Robinson, who was named Friday as the suspect in the conservative influencer’s assassination, acted alone, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox told a morning news conference.

“We do not at this time have any information that would lead to any additional arrests,” he said.
