The Oregonian reports forty-nine-year-old Robb Alexander Stout had a falling out with a friend over some borrowed tools.So he devised a revenge plan.He went to a wrecking yard, retrieved an old air bag and packed it into a tool box with dog droppings covering it.Po-po say he then set the device on the back of his former friend’s Camaro.Stout said “when it was open, it would just blow the dog crap on him”.And his former friend fell for the trap, “it exploded with such force that it sounded like an M80 going off and the dog scat was blown out of the toolbox.”
The targeted former friend was not injured.
When asked by the judge why he did it, Stout explained that he believed his friend was holding onto some of his tools, and wasn’t going to give them back.
Stout pleaded guilty to unlawful manufacture of a destructive device.
