KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Reuters) - A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced a man to 10 years in prison without parole on charges that he tried to fire-bomb the local offices of Missouri U.S. Democratic Representative Emanuel Cleaver with two bottles filled with charcoal lighter fluid, officials said.
Eric King, 29, of Kansas City, pleaded guilty in early March to using explosives to commit arson at Cleaver's offices on Sept. 11, 2014, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Kansas City said in a statement.
The public defender representing King would have no comment on the guilty plea, a spokeswoman said.
King, a self-proclaimed anarchist, used a hammer to break a window of the unoccupied office, prosecutors said. Police said they recovered the hammer and two broken Molotov cocktails at the scene.
