Man arrested for bomb

Bend police arrestedDonald Jerome Guilbeaux, 36, of Sisters, after he allegedly built a bomb while at work at Beaver Coaches on Wednesday, July 8.

According to Lt. Matt Fine of the Bend Police Department, a co-worker turned Guilbeaux in to a supervisor, who moved the bomb from Guilbeaux's work area to an office.

The immediate area was cleared, Fine said, but the plant was not evacuated and "it did not disrupt operations."

The Oregon State Bomb Squad later detonated the device, which resembled a pipe bomb, in a vacant lot near the Beaver Coaches plant.

According to Fine, Guilbeaux "was overheard making statements to the effect that, if he didn't get his bonus, he was going to throw (the bomb) in the front office."

Guilbeaux was lodged in Deschutes County Jail on charges of manufacturing and possessing a destructive device, a Class C felony. He was later released pending arraignment.
