MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A 56-year-old West Virginia man has pleaded guilty to mailing an explosive device to a resident in Houston, Minn.
Mark Steven Anderson, of Marmet, pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court in Minneapolis to one count of mailing an injurious article.
Prosecutors say that in July, 2009, he mailed the Houston resident a package containing two sticks of dynamite connected to fuses and cords. It was designed to detonate when opened, but it didn’t work as planned. Prosecutors say Anderson intended to injure the recipient.
Anderson is a previous resident of Houston, Minn. He will be sentenced at a later date.
