DILLSBURG, Pa. — A 38-year-old York County man will serve up to 45 months in prison after pleading guilty to unlawful possession of a destructive device, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced Monday.
Kevin Madziarek, of Dillsburg, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Christopher C. Connor on Dec. 3, according to U.S. Attorney John C. Gurganus.
Madziarek previously admitted to possessing the device, which was made out of PVC pipe, along with an electrical box that could have activated it, Gurganus said.
The device was discovered in a wooded area in Cumberland County in Aug. 2020. It was capable of causing death, serious bodily injury, and property damage.
Madziarek's sentence includes a two-year term of supervised release following imprisonment.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Carlo D. Marchioli and former Assistant U.S. Attorney Kim Douglas Daniel prosecuted the case.
