Kyle Douglas Calvert, 27, from Irondale, Alabama, was sentenced to ten years in state prison after pleading guilty to charges related to a February 2024 bombing outside the Alabama Attorney General’s Office.
The sentence includes a concurrent term to the nine-year federal prison sentence Calvert received in November for malicious use of an explosive device.
Calvert was indicted on two counts and pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree arson and one count of possession of an explosive device.
The homemade bomb, which contained nails, screws, and accelerants, was detonated near the Attorney General’s Office, a government building.
Prosecutors emphasized that Calvert’s actions were an attack on the state’s legal system and posed a direct threat to public safety.
Attorney General Steve Marshall condemned the act as terrorism and emphasized that such actions against Alabama citizens would not be tolerated.
