The Irondale man accused of placing a bomb in front of the Alabama Attorney General’s office pleaded not guilty Wednesday to two felony counts of malicious damage by explosives and one count of possession of an unregistered destructive device.
Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, 26, was arrested after a coffee container-like vessel containing insulation material soaked in a lighter fluid substance, a mortar, firecrackers and nails was discovered on February 24.
Multiple agencies responded and detonated the device. No one was injured.
Investigators connected Calvert to the crime after discovering stickers he placed on buildings near the scene. The stickers depicted far-left terrorist sympathies, such as “Support your local antifa.”
The man also described himself as a "pansexual." On his TikTok account, Calvert dons makeup and says his pronouns are "they/she/he."
A pre-trial conference is scheduled for May 15. The trial is set for June 17. Chief United States District Judge Emily C. Marks is presiding.
