ReplyDeleteOnly here would a home grown bomb maker be arrested in a camo bathrobe. LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat remains to be seen is if his landlord, a former SU professor, will kick him out of his rental house. Explosive devices on the property probably violates the lease.
ReplyDeleteHe will be on no bond for the next 7 months waiting for court dates and mental evaluations. Then upon conviction another mental evaluation before sentencing add additional 2 month. Then doc for 18 months. However you can call his landlord?
