A Homeland Security analyst who carried a gun, knife, handcuffs, pepper spray and an infrared camera into the agency’s headquarters in June pleaded guilty Wednesday to making illegal silencers.
Jonathan Wienke faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine after authorities also found explosives and gun silencers at his Martinsburg home in West Virginia, the Associated Press reports.
Wienke likely won’t serve anywhere close to 10 years in prison because of a deal with prosecutors for a reduced sentence.
Authorities said there was “no indication” that Wienke planned violence in the workplace.
