Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, a 26-year-old man from Irondale, Alabama, has pleaded guilty to detonating a shrapnel-filled explosive device outside the Alabama Attorney General’s Office in Montgomery on February 24, 2024. The device, made using nails and screws, caused no injuries but was intended to intimidate public officials. Calvert had also placed stickers in the area promoting various political ideologies, including Antifa, though he claims no formal affiliation. He was arrested on April 10 following an investigation involving multiple federal and local agencies. Calvert faces a minimum sentence of five years and up to 20 years in prison, with sentencing to be scheduled in the coming months. Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray condemned the attack as an affront to the American justice system and vowed to hold perpetrators accountable.
