MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) - An Oregon man whose home was destroyed in an explosion that he claimed was set by intruders seeking medical records has been indicted on arson and attempted theft charges.
The Mail Tribune reported (https://bit.ly/2kq42TP ) Tuesday that a grand jury handed down the indictment against Michael Charles McNall of Prospect last month. He’s scheduled to be arraigned on the charges Thursday.
McNall’s home was damaged by the explosion in April 2016.
Witnesses had reported hearing about six or more explosions and several neighboring houses sustained damage.
McNall blamed the explosion on thieves who sought files from his medical billing company, Pioneer Healthcare Management LLC.
He said he and his wife had received threats prior to the incident.
McNall’s lawyer, Peter Carini, could not be reached for comment.
