Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, 26, of Irondale, is facing charges in connection with an explosive device that was detonated outside state Attorney General Steve Marshall's office in February.
An Alabama man has been arrested for his alleged role in the late-night detonation of an explosive device outside the office of state Attorney General Steve Marshall in February. Authorities took Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, 26, of Irondale, into custody on Wednesday on charges of malicious use of an explosive and possession of an unregistered destructive device, the Justice Department said. Investigators arrested Calvert weeks after an explosive device went off around 3:45 a.m. on Feb.
My staff and I are breathing a collective sigh of relief this morning knowing that this individual has been taken off the streets,' Marshall said in a statement. 'Although more information will be provided in the weeks to come, I think it is safe to say that this was not a random act of violence,' he added.
This IED used commercially available pyrotechnic fireworks as the main explosive charge, a coffee can as a concealment container, and was enhanced with added fragmentation and ignitable liquids,' an FBI agent wrote, according to court documents. 'The addition of metal screws, nails, and other hardware to this IED demonstrates weaponization characteristics due to the enhanced fragmentation effect that those materials would create.
