Ferry Police Chief Bob Boone reports that pipe
bomb suspect Allen Stafford, also known as
Avery, appeared in front of Judge Justin Julian
on Friday and waived his preliminary hearing.
Stafford, 20, was taken into custody March 9 for
allegedly setting and detonating an explosion
that rocked Bonners Ferry's Northside that
morning and sent two people to the hospital.
Boundary County Prosecutor Jack Douglas
stipulated he would not seek federal charges.
Additionally, a plea agreement stipulates that
the sentences for any other crimes Stafford may
be charged with will run concurrent to the
charges he is already facing; aggravated felony
assault and possession and destruction of an
explosive device.
In addition to the pipe bombing case, the
Boundary County Sheriff’s Office and the Bonners
Ferry Police Department are actively
investigating a score of burglary cases Stafford
may have been involved in. Many of these cases
involve thefts from automobiles and the thefts
of firearms.
Stafford remains in custody in the Boundary
County Jail in lieu of $300,000 bail. His next
court date is an arraignment hearing at 9 a.m.
Thursday, April 10, in District Court. |
