ARLINGTON, Wash. – An Arlington man found with an arsenal of weapons and an explosives lab is headed to prison for three and a half years.
The U.S. Attorney in Seattle says 42-year-old James Wesley Bowden pleaded guilty to multiple charges.
Officers arrested him in November 2021 after he threatened another man with a gun.
They found an explosives lab in Bowden’s garage along with a passageway that led to an underground bunker.
There they found guns, grenades, silencers, body armor and more.
Two of the firearms had been modified to be fully automatic.
Bowden is a convicted felon who is barred from possessing guns.
