WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A homeless man has pleaded guilty to criminal use of explosives after he went to apply for a job a Wichita abortion clinic with a small bottle of gunpowder and a wick in his backpack.
The Wichita Eagle reports that 20-year-old Moises R. Trevizo Jr. admitted Monday to the charge and is scheduled to be sentenced June 24 in Sedgwick County District Court.
Police have said he didn’t mean any harm and carried everything he owned in the backpack when he showed up to the South Wind Women’s Center in August. Police said the device was too small to damage the clinic.
The clinic operates in the building once owned by slain abortion provider George Tiller.
