A Tacoma woman pleaded guilty in federal court Friday to charges connected to planting an explosive device on the vehicle owned by a person she believed to be a “snitch.”
Federal authorities charged Kenni Jo Bennett with unlawful possession of a destructive device for the October 2016 incident, according to the criminal complaint.
Last August, Bennett came to believe that the victim was a snitch who was providing law enforcement officials with details of her drug trafficking operation. This belief led Bennett to make contact with an individual known as “Sonny,” who resided on the Puyallup Indian Reservation, from whom she planned to purchase an explosive device. Sonny did, in fact, provide Bennett with such a device, which was described as the size of a soda can with a green fuse coming out of one end and a magnet.
Bennett then enlisted the help of another individual, Thomas Fite, Jr., to assist her in planting the device on the victim’s vehicle. Bennett later told authorities she provided Fite with one ounce of methamphetamine as an incentive to help her.
In the early morning hours of Oct. 13, 2016, Bennett and Fite went to the victim’s residence, where his Kia Forte sedan was parked
