Murray man indicted after 2022 Molotov cocktail incident

A Murray man was indicted by a federal grand jury in early August with possession of a destructive device.

Officials said 20-year-old Jack Thomas Epperson was found to be in possession of a Molotov cocktail that was not listed in the National Firearms Registry and Transfer Record.

Epperson appeared in court on Monday. If he is convicted, he could face a maximum of 10 years in prison.

The charges stem from an incident that took place last September. Authorities said Epperson threw the explosive toward a group of students at the Murray State campus.

None of the students were injured.
