Acting on an anonymous tip, Sampson County deputies found a Chevrolet minivan outside Sampson Regional Medical Center with a side window blown out and blast marks on the outside of a door, authorities said. Inside the hospital emergency room, Martin Bryant Boyette and Julio Frentez Morales were receiving treatment for injuries from a bomb blast, authorities said. An investigation determined that the pair had made several bombs at Boyette's house, where both lived, and Morales tried to throw one out the window of the minivan on U.S. Highway 701 as they drove past Hobbton Schools, authorities said. The bomb went off in Morales' hand, seriously injuring him, and a piece of shrapnel hit Boyette in the back of the head, authorities said.
Boyette was being held in the Sampson County Detention Center under a $35,000 bond, while Morales had been released on bond. The owner of the minivan, who also lived at the Keener Road house, was charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia after deputies found 2 grams of methamphetamine while interviewing her during their investigation of the bomb explosion. She was being held in the Sampson County Detention Center under a $200,000 bond. The ATF is investigating the case for possible federal charges, authorities said.

#1 Back whien I was (a lot) younger, I have happy memories of putting a small crater in the local high school lawn as a result of a chemistry lab experiment gone wrong.(And that,kids, is how we make lead azide....) Have some bigger old craters out in the back 40 at my homestead.(so, that's the recipie for ANFO...) Nowadays, this sort of thing gets you put under the jail cell. If you are lucky. Lefty and his buddy sound like local idiots out having a good time, not al-Q or Columnbine wannabees. I bet either alcohol or other recreational pharmasuticals were a factor. |
