Judge Ross Leuning scheduled sentencing for March. The bomb threat in July led to the evacuation of the county building. The arrest came after an unrelated report of a fight outside the Walmart pharmacy in Albert Lea. Penhollow, one of the combatants, drove home, apparently unaware that police were tailing hm. In the house, officers found firearms, ammunition, a sound suppressor attached to a sub-legal length barrel, a CO2 container used as an explosive device, cartridge reloading equipment, a second explosive device, and a partial home-built submachine gun.
