(KLZA)--A Falls City woman has been sentenced to just over 3 years in prison in connection with the detonation of an explosive device at a Falls City business in September 2018, and on a drug charge in a separate case.
39-year-old April Feighner was sentenced in Richardson County District Court Tuesday to one year in prison on a misdemeanor charge of use of an explosive device without a permit. On a misdemeanor charge of attempted third degree arson, Feighner was sentenced to an additional year in prison.
In a separate case, Feighner was sentenced to 13 months in prison on a felony charge of possession of methamphetamine. The sentences are to run consecutively which means a total of 37 months prison time. On the possession charge, Feighner was allowed credit for 133 days already served.
Feighner was arrested in October, 2018 on a felony charge of use of an explosive to commit a felony and second degree arson in connection with the detonation of an explosive device at “The Spirit Shoppe” liquor store at 1123 Harlan Street in Falls City.
In February, Feighner entered a no contest plea to the misdemeanor charges as part of a plea agreement.
Feighner was also arrested in October on a warrant for possession of methamphetamine.
In addition to the prison sentence, Feighner must also pay restitution of nearly $6,400 to the Spirit Shoppe and more than $800 in court costs and fees.
No one was injured in the explosion that occurred in the early morning hours.
