Man sentenced in pipe bomb case

TULSA — An Oklahoma man is sentenced by a federal judge Wednesday to 30 months in prison for conspiring to manufacture and possess pipe bombs with his son.

54-year-old Berry Albert Nichols pleaded guilty to one count in August.

Authorities say Nichols conspired with his son, 24-year-old Christopher Nichols, to purchase materials at a hardware store to create two pipe bombs.

The men were indicted after pipe bombs were found in a female relative's vehicle outside the Creek County Courthouse.

Albert Nichols told authorities it was only meant to scare the woman.

Christopher Nichols was sentenced last year to 44 months in prison.
