A man found with a homemade bomb in his car last year has been sentenced to 4 years behind bars.

Chad Baillargeon was sentenced today after pleading guilty earlier this week to possessing an explosive device with the intent to endanger a life.

Police found the bomb in the trunk of the 36-year-old’s car last January when they pulled him over on Third Avenue in the Glebe.

Baillargeon has been in custody since his arrest.
