In a news release, Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson says Simon Nigel Pohl, 32, was sentenced Friday on one count of Criminal Use of Explosives, and one count of Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine.
Pohl was sentenced to serve concurrent sentences for a total of 32 months in Kansas Department of Corrections custody. The State requested both counts to run consecutive for a total of 41 months.
Thiompson says that on April 19, 2016, police found Pohl at a home in Leavenworth County. While there, police found Mr. Pohl to be in possession of a pipe-bomb and methamphetamine.
“We took the issue of these pipe-bombs in our community very seriously and assured that those responsible were brought to justice and sentenced through the guidelines of the Kansas Statutes,” Thompson said. “Leavenworth Police did a great job in their investigation of these crimes.”
