The Brief
David Michael Eddo, 46, was arrested for illegal possession of ammunition, and was found to have explosive chemical compounds in his Graham, Washington home.

Eddo's detention hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, June 18, as investigations continue.
PIERCE COUNTY, Wash. - A man from Graham, Washington was recently charged after the FBI says they uncovered a manifesto threatening to bomb people, and recovered ammunition and explosive chemicals inside his home.
The backstory
David Michael Eddo, 46, was arrested for illegal possession of ammunition and remains detained at the Federal Detention Center at SeaTac.
Eddo is not allowed to own or possess firearms due to a 2019 conviction for shooting at a semi truck on I-5 in a road rage incident.
In that crime, Eddo fired off 15 rounds into the truck cab after the driver rear-ended him near the Port of Tacoma exit. It happened during rush hours, but luckily no one was hurt.
Now, Eddo is accused of writing a "manifesto" with plans of building and deploying a bomb to get "justice" for his father who died 20 years ago at the Port of Tacoma.
The FBI claims Eddo named certain people who were involved in litigation over his father's death as targets in the manifesto.
Law enforcement searched Eddo's home on Thursday and located explosive chemicals, including ammonium perchlorate, also called potassium nitrate, which Eddo has no license to purchase or own.
Two different types of ammunition were also recovered from Eddo's home in Graham. Unlawful possession of ammunition is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
Eddo's next scheduled court appearance is a detention hearing on Wednesday, June 18.

North Carolina woman sues former employer over Chucky doll prank she claims gave her PTSD
A former bank employee has filed a lawsuit against Truist Bank alleging discrimination and retaliation after she said a prank involving the doll Chucky exacerbated her anxiety disorder, according to several reports. Debra Jones claims in the lawsuit that despite knowing she had a fear of dolls, her manager placed a Chucky doll, "the doll that kills people," on her chair in her office, the New York Post reported. Jones claimed in the lawsuit that after the incident she was diagnosed with PTSD, saying she had shared her fear of dolls with her manager at a company cookout and that it affected her disabilities, which include generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder and the autoimmune disorder vitiligo, WRAL-TV reported. Jones claimed she was treated differently when she returned to work last year following two months of medical leave, accusing the bank of retaliating against her for needing to leave at 3 p.m. to treat her autoimmune disorder. After Jones returned to a new office and new manager she was "subjected to discrimination and retaliation based on her being a qualified individual with disabilities," according to the complaint. Her supervisors claimed that her coworkers "also needed time off," the lawsuit said, according to the station. Jones was let go in March after a manager told her she couldn't keep using her disabilities as an excuse, the lawsuit claimed, People magazine reported. Chucky comes from the 1988 horror movie "Child's Play," in which a dead serial killer inhabits a boy's doll and kills people. The lawsuit, filed in North Carolina in May, claims the bank violated the Americans with Disabilities Act and Jones is seeking compensatory damages. Fox News Digital has reached out to Truist Bank for comment.

"Justice for Megan Essentials Bag Project" launched by family of University of Colorado student
The family of a University of Colorado Boulder student who was found deceased earlier this year hopes that helping others may help them find answers to her death. Trussell went missing in February, and her body was later found in Boulder Canyon in an area that her family says is known for encampments. Her death was ruled a suicide, but her family disputes that ruling. Megan Trussell's family launched the Justice for Megan Essentials Bag Project in hopes of connecting with the unhoused community, which may lead to information about her death. They said her phone was later discovered to have been sold by someone connected to that community. "We're approaching this drive with care and hope—believing that someone out there may remember something. Even the smallest detail could matter," said Trussell's mother, Vanessa Diaz. They're handing out essentials to the unhoused community and letting them know about a $1,000 reward for tips. The bags will contain hygiene items and snacks along with a flyer with Megan's story and photo and details on the reward. Her family hopes to assemble 50 bags and distribute them in early July.
