Anchorage, Alaska – After supposedly shipping two “destructive devices” to federal institutions in Alaska and New York in 2020, a Georgian prisoner has been charged with numerous criminal offenses.

David Cassady, 55, is accused of creating an unregistered destructive device, mailing two destructive devices, and attempting to use two explosives maliciously, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Georgia.
