> Michelle Kolts, who was found with 24 homemade pipe bombs and a murder list in her Florida home, pleaded guilty to avoid jail time.
> Kolts was originally charged with 24 counts of making a destructive device with intent to harm.
> She will receive 24 months of community control followed by 15 years of probation, and her conviction will not appear on her criminal record if she stays crime-free and abides by the terms of her probation.

Michelle Kolts, a 27-year-old woman from Wimauma, Florida, was found with 24 homemade pipe bombs and a murder list in her parents’ home in 2019. Her parents alerted the police, who discovered the bombs and arrested Kolts at her workplace.

She later admitted to manufacturing the bombs during police questioning. FBI agent Christopher Franck interviewed her during a search of her parents’ home, and she reportedly told him that her intent was to harm other people, although she did not state a specific target or plan of attack.

Kolts initially claimed that two other men had helped her make the bombs, but investigators determined that this was a lie. Authorities also found supplies to manufacture new bombs, knives, guns, nunchucks, nails, pellets, screws, books about terrorist-made explosions, and a hit list in her possession.
