 A 41-year-old Oakley man has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for illegally possessing unregistered pipe bombs. Eric James Reinbold was convicted in July following a three-day trial and was sentenced today in U.S. District Court. Law enforcement responded to a report of possible pipe bombs and bomb-making material on a hunting land in Oakley on October 22nd 2017. They found a plastic tote containing pipe bombs, jugs of gunpowder fuses and other bomb-making material as well as a receipt for the fuses containing Reinbold's name and address. Then after executing a search warrant in November of 2017 at Reinbold's home in Oakley, officers recovered materials similar to those found on the hunting land. They also found handwritten notes related to manufacturing pipe bombs, making homemade explosives, how to use pipe bombs, and diagrams of bombs that match the bombs that were found.
