2 charged with leaving beer keg bomb at Sacramento courthouse - San Jose Mercury News
SACRAMENTO — A Sacramento couple has been charged with leaving a fire bomb made from a beer keg outside the federal courthouse in Sacramento.

Thirty-year-old Matthew Fraticelli and 35-year-old Stephanie Ann Shinn were ordered held without bail Wednesday as flight risks and public dangers. Fraticelli has a previous conviction for bomb possession.

The Sacramento police bomb squad defused the device made from a 5-liter beer keg before it could cause damage Sunday. They say Fraticelli's name was written in bold ink on the side of the keg.

Investigators say a surveillance camera recorded Fraticelli placing the bomb near a parking garage exit while Shinn pushed a baby stroller along the sidewalk.

The couple's defense attorney says she may try again to have Shinn released on bail.
