Further investigation revealed that Calvert allegedly placed stickers on state buildings on the night of the explosion. These stickers bore messages advocating for various political ideologies, including antifa, anti-police, and anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement sentiments. This aspect of the case points to a politically motivated act, adding complexity to the motivations behind the bombing.
Authorities were able to track Calvert's movements through video surveillance, matching his vehicle to license plate reader information and corroborating these findings with social media analysis and an examination of his mannerisms and the explosive device itself. This comprehensive approach played a crucial role in identifying and apprehending the suspect.
If convicted, Calvert faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison, with the possibility of up to 20 years. This range reflects the serious nature of the charges and the potential consequences of such action.
In response to the arrest, Attorney General Steve Marshall expressed relief and gratitude towards the federal and local partners involved in the investigation. He emphasized that the incident was not a random act of violence and highlighted the significance of the federal charges, which carry substantial prison time.
Marshall, who has served as the state's attorney general since 2017, is known for his staunch Republican views, including criticism of Joe Biden’s border policies and support for the Supreme Court's 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade. His political stance and the nature of the attack suggest a deeply polarized backdrop against which this incident unfolded.
