Bangor, Maine: United States Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II announced that Alex Glossian, 25, of Meriden, Connecticut, pled guilty today in U.S. District Court in Bangor, Maine, to unlawful possession of a Molotov cocktail, an unregistered destructive device.
Court records reveal that on June 2, 2010, Glossian and another individual made Molotov cocktails
using gasoline and 40 ounce beer bottles. Two of the devices were then lit and thrown through windows at an Indian Island home. One of the devices was retrieved intact from the house. The second device ignited after shattering a bedroom window and caused extensive damage.
Glossian faces a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine. He will be sentenced after completion of a pre-sentence investigation report by the United States Probation Office.
The investigation was conducted jointly by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Maine State Fire Marshal’s Office.
