Overview
- Prosecutors say that on Monday Megan Showers lit a red cylindrical explosive labeled "BYE BYE" while Jason Showers threw it into the couple’s 72-year-old neighbor’s yard and the neighbor put the device out.
- Both Jason and Megan Showers were arraigned on multiple felony counts that include Possession of Bombs with Unlawful Intent and Placing an Explosive Device near property.
- Officers executed a search warrant at the Showers’ home and reportedly found firearms, ammunition and materials used to assemble explosive devices, evidence prosecutors cited in the charges.
- The court set Jason Showers’s bond at $100,000 cash-only with a steel-cuff GPS tether and orders barring contact or return to the nearby home while Megan Showers’s bond was set at $20,000 with GPS monitoring and no-contact conditions.
- Neighbors and the 72-year-old victim described fear from years of problems at the house, and both defendants are due back for a probable cause conference on August 14 which will shape whether the case moves to trial.
