Portland Man Who Injured U.S. Marshal With a Bomb Has Been Arrested
A Portland man who used a bomb to gain unlawful entry to the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse has been arrested. Eighteen-year-old Isaiah Jason Maza Jr. injured a U.S. Marshal after detonating an explosive device and has been charged accordingly with a series of federal crimes.
"According to court documents, in the early morning hours of July 22, 2020, a group of individuals gathered in an exterior entryway of the Hatfield Federal Courthouse. Several members of the group, including Maza, began removing plywood attached to the front of the building to protect its damaged glass façade. After the group successfully removed the plywood sheeting, Maza made multiple attempts to kick in the window, struck it with a metal object, and repeatedly pounded on it with what appeared to be a hammer," DOJ released.
For his alleged assault on a U.S. Marshall, Maza faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. For his actions of willfully destroying federal government property, he faces up to 10 years in a prison and a $250,000 fine.
