Tulalip man sentenced to federal prison for having 'explosive devices'



TULALIP — A Tulalip man was sentenced to federal prison for making homemade explosives to protect himself from “riots” and storing them in his house.

Samuel Archie Matta pleaded guilty to possession of destructive devices in July. On Oct. 16, U.S. District Court Judge John H. Chun gave Matta 21 months in prison.

In April 2022, Tulalip police arrested Matta, 36, for physically assaulting his neighbors and shooting one of them with a BB gun, according to court documents. Matta was later convicted of criminal mischief in Tulalip Tribal Court and sentenced to 275 days in jail.

A few days after the assault, police obtained a warrant to search his home for other weapons.

WHEN Biden gets re-elected and has both the Senate AND the House majorities I hope this is the very first thing he will address.
