Man Sentenced To 18 Years For Bottle Bombs At Movie Theaters
BOWIE, Md. (AP) -- A man convicted of setting off homemade bottle bombs at six movie theaters was sentenced to 18 years in prison.
The Capital Gazette reports 21-year-old Manuel Joyner-Bell received the sentence Friday in Prince George's County after pleading guilty in December to setting off the bombs in Maryland and Virginia movie theaters in 2014.
Joyner-Bell may face additional time. Prosecutors say he will be extradited to Virginia to face similar charges.
Joyner-Bell's co-defendant, Michael Hollingsworth, will be sentenced on June 30. A spokeswoman for the Prince George's State Attorney says last month, Hollingsworth pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to manufacture a destructive device.
