A pair of Georgia men accused of bombing one of their ex's homes were allegedly plotting to release a python to "eat" the woman's daughter in a series of proposed schemes.
It has been reported by NBC News that Stephen Glosser, 37, and Caleb Kinsey, 34, of Richmond Hill, Georgia, have both been charged in federal court with stalking, use of an explosive to commit another felony, conspiracy to use an explosive to commit a felony, and possession of an unregistered destructive device, in connection with the incident, the U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of Georgia announced Thursday.
Kinsey has also been charged with making a false statement during the purchase of a firearm, and possession of firearms by a convicted felon.
It's unclear if the men entered pleas to the various charges.
Federal authorities allege from December 2022 to January 2023, Glosser and Kinsey surveilled the victim and communicated electronically "with the intent to kill, injure, harass, or intimidate" the victim, and used a destructive device during that conduct.
The pair allegedly communicated , according to NBC, via cell phone their plot to "kill, intimidate, harass, or injure the victim" by firing arrows through the victim's front door, releasing "a large python into the victim's home to eat the victim's daughter," mailing dog feces or dead rats to the victim's home, scalping the victim, and blowing up the victim's home, said authorities.
Furthermore, Glosser is accused of using the internet to locate the victim's home, before he and Kinsey allegedly acquired the explosive Tannerite to build a "destructive device to blow up the victim's home" in January 2023, according to authorities.
No one was hurt in the explosion.
If convicted on the conspiracy charge, the suspects face up to 20 years in prison, and an additional 10 years if found guilty of using an explosive to commit a felony.
