CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A West Virginia man has been sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison for possessing a pipe bomb.
U.S. Attorney Mike Stuart says in a news release that 31-year-old Steven Jones of Ripley was sentenced in federal court in Charleston.
Jones admitted in court to making a pipe bomb in his garage in November. Stuart says a tip from the public “prevented what could have been a horrific tragedy.”
