Klamath Falls Man Pleads Guilty to Illegal Explosives Distribution

KLAMATH FALLS-A 52-year-old Klamath Falls resident, Jason Edward Lowery, entered a guilty plea on Monday for the illegal distribution of explosive devices, according to an announcement from U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford for the District of Oregon.

Lowery, who faced charges of distributing and manufacturing explosives without a license, admitted to selling illicit M-type explosive devices from his residence and place of business in Klamath Falls during June 2025.

Law enforcement executed search warrants at Lowery’s home, business, and vehicle, uncovering a significant cache of dangerous materials. Investigators seized more than 200 homemade explosive devices, as well as components for further construction. Notably, police recovered a destructive device rigged with explosive powder and nails.

In addition to the explosives, officers found firearms and methamphetamine at the residence. Digital evidence from Lowery’s phone further indicated that he had been selling these devices to multiple buyers.

A federal grand jury in Medford originally returned a two-count indictment against Lowery in July 2025. As part of his plea agreement, Lowery has consented to the forfeiture of criminally derived proceeds and any property used to facilitate the crimes identified by the government prior to sentencing.

Lowery faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release. His sentencing is scheduled for October 8, 2026, before a U.S. district court judge. The case, currently being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Judith R. Harper, was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives alongside the Oregon State Police
