A Clarkridge man accused of making and exploding homemade pipe bombs at his residence appeared in Baxter County Circuit Court Thursday.
Thirty-six-year-old Michael Everett was booked into the Baxter County Detention Center July 17 last year and charged with criminal possession of explosive material, criminal use of prohibited weapons (bombs), three counts of possession of firearms by a felon, possessing drug paraphernalia and three counts of endangering the welfare of a minor.
He is also charged with firing a gun out of his SUV in early April last year reportedly to express his displeasure at the speed the vehicle in front of him was traveling. Everett’s attorney, Deputy Public Defender Mark Cooper, said a plea offer had been made in that case. Circuit Judge John Putman ordered Everett to reappear Feb. 11 “if a plea is to be taken.”

A 20-year-old rural Mountain Home man, who is alleged to have assaulted his mother, leaving her with serious injuries, made a second unsuccessful try at entering a guilty plea to his charges during a session of Baxter County Circuit Court Thursday.
In late September, the plea taking came off the rails when Casey Dillan Lawson could not stop laughing as the facts behind his charges were read.
According to court records, Lawson has dealt with significant mental health issues for some time.
The original agreement, worked out by prosecutors and defense attorney Mark Cooper, called for Lawson to receive a six-year prison sentence with five suspended and one to serve.
