(RED STATE) – An Eastern Washington man has been sentenced to two years in prison for assembling a working, homemade cannon on his property.
63-year-old Kent Kimberling of Garfield has been sitting in the Spokane County Jail since January 2020, after investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms found a fully functional cannon in his garage. He had painted the cannon red, white and blue. The Washington man pled guilty in March.
The bore of the cannon measured at one and one quarter inches. Federal law limits bore size one half inch. Kimberling claims he was under the impression that the device was legal. He has also made statements questioning the integrity of his local police.
