Napa man convicted of having pipe bombs again accused of possessing explosive materials

A North Bay man who served prison time for having pipe bombs has been arrested and charged again for allegedly possessing materials to make explosive devices, authorities said.

Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley announced that 31-year-old Justin Chapman Fisher of Napa was charged with possession of materials with intent to make a destructive device or explosive. Sheriff’s deputies arrested Fisher at a home on Coombs Street on Jan. 10.

Fisher was previously arrested in American Canyon in 2019 for having pipe bombs, explosives, pipes, caps and fuses, along with drugs. The following year, he was convicted of possession of methamphetamine, possession of heroin and possession or transportation of a machine gun.

Following his 2020 conviction, the DA’s office requested a sentence of six years in state prison, but the judge at the time sentenced Fisher to four years.
