WEST TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – A West Terre Haute man was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to illegally having both a gun and bomb-making materials.

29 year old Justin VanGilder was sentenced to 52 months in prison.

VanGilder was convicted in 2014 of possession of an unregistered destructive device in federal court in Illinois.

He was on federally supervised release at the time of his arrest in this case.

The West Terre Haute Police went to his house in April, 2017 when they learned he illegally had a gun and that is when they found the bomb making material.
