Pipe Bomb, Traffic Stop, 20-Year Sentence | Gainesville News

A 62-year-old man, Charles LeGault, just got sentenced to 20 years after pleading guilty to using a pipe bomb that injured a sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop—plus drug and weapons charges. The explosive device detonated during a lawful search, sending the deputy to the hospital, and authorities later found more drugs and guns at his home. His roommate, Patrick McGregor, was also arrested. This case turns a routine traffic stop into a deadly escalation—and a stark reminder of the risks law enforcement faces every day.
