A Barren County man is facing an indictment after a pipe bomb was found in Glasgow in January.
Jeffery O. Neal, 49, of Park City is charged with third-degree use of a weapon of mass destruction. Officers found a pipe bomb inside a closet of a home along Redwood Street.
The case was presented to a Barren County grand jury on August 16. Neal has a warrant for his arrest in connection to the indictment.
The indictment said Neal committed the crime when he “intentionally, without lawful authority, placed a weapon of mass destruction at any location in the commonwealth.”
Units from the FBI confirmed the devise had a fuse and gunpowder. It was detonated at the home in a safe manner, according to police.
An arrest citation said Neal told police the bomb was his.
The charge is a Class C felony, according to Kentucky state law.
