Ex-student Faces
Bombing Charge
Lino Nivolo, junior in journalism
fall term, and Gilles Le Roux, 715
13th ave. E., were arrested by Eu
gene police Wednesday afternoon
and charged with tossing a home
made cardboard-covered bomb into
the foyer of Arbuckle's Shoe store
at midnight New Year's Eve.
According to police, the explo
sive powder was poured into a
cardboard cylinder, wrapped in
wax paper, taped anil fused. Po
lice believe that the object of the
demolition duo was the creation of
noise rather than damage.
An outside shoe display case was
damaged by the blast, a glass front
broken and a tile base chipped.
Employees of the store called po
lice Wednesday morning when
they discovered remnants of the
bomb in the foyer.
Both were charged with disor
derly conduct and cited to appear
in municipal court Jan. 11. Police
reported that Le Roux had a for
mer police record involving
“pranks.”
Nivolo is not enrolled at the Uni
versity this term.
An anonymous phone call pro
vided the names to the police, and
the investigating officers report
that both admitted participation in
the incident.
