Posted/updated on: May 4, 2011 at 2:18 pm
EAST TEXAS — The Henderson man arrested a year ago for putting explosives in mailboxes has his final court appearance next month. Police say Larry Gene North terrorized parts of East Texas by placing more than 30 pipe bombs in various mailboxes. He’s been in the hospital most of the time since his arrest in April of 2010. But on a single day in June, North will have a competency and a change of plea hearing; then he’ll be sentenced. He’s facing a number of criminal charges and could get life in prison.
