A Meservey man already set to stand trial in July for charges of first-degree kidnapping and willful injury is now being charged with possessing a “bomb, explosive or combination of such parts comprising an offensive weapon,” according to court documents.
Charles Raymond Albright, 41, was knowingly and without authorization, in possession of an offensive weapon on or about Oct. 7, 2016, in Cerro Gordo County, court documents state, and is being charged with Unauthorized Possession of an Offensive Weapon. The charge is a Class D felony, and Albright is scheduled for arraignment on July 18.
