Palm Desert man sentenced to prison for firebomb attack
City News Service
A Palm Desert man was sentenced on Monday in Los Angeles to five years behind bars for throwing a firebomb into a Republican group’s office last year in the Coachella Valley.
Carlos Espriu, 24, who has been in federal custody since his arrest last September, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson, who also ordered the defendant to pay $5,426 in restitution for damage caused by the firebombing.
Espriu pleaded guilty in March to a single federal count of attempted arson of a building, admitting that he used a Molotov cocktail in an attempt to destroy the East Valley Republican Women Federated office in La Quinta.
