Two Bryan County men, Stephen Glosser and Caleb Kinsey, have been indicted on multiple federal charges for the bombing of a Richmond Hill residence in January 2023. According to the indictment in USA v. Glosser et al., announced by U.S. Attorney Jill E. Steinberg, the men are charged with various offenses including stalking, use of an explosive to commit another felony offense, conspiracy to use an explosive to commit a felony, and possession of an unregistered destructive device.
The indictment alleges that Glosser and Kinsey used electronic communications to surveil "Victim 1 with the intent to kill, injure, harass, or intimidate," and used a destructive device during their conduct. The conspiracy charge outlined a plan to harm the victim through various methods such as shooting arrows into the victim’s front door, releasing a large python into the victim’s home, mailing dog feces or dead rats, scalping the victim, and ultimately blowing up the victim’s home.
It is further alleged that Glosser located the victim’s home through internet searches, mapped out a path to the residence, and with Kinsey, built an explosive device at Glosser’s home using Tannerite purchased online. The two then used this device to blow up the victim’s home on or about January 13, 2023.
The statutory penalties for these charges include up to 20 years in prison for the conspiracy charge and an additional 10 years for using an explosive to commit a felony. Both Glosser and Kinsey are currently in custody awaiting further court proceedings.
The investigation into this case involves multiple agencies, including Bryan County Fire and Emergency Services, the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office, the Savannah Fire Department, and the Grant Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Assistant U.S. Attorney L. Alexander Hamner is leading the prosecution for the United States in this case. As the legal process unfolds, Glosser and Kinsey are considered innocent unless proven guilty.
