A man who blew up himself with a device in his truck that also leveled an acquaintance's Patton home on Tuesday tried to commit suicide last summer with a 1,600-pound explosive fuel bomb that didn't detonate.
 
Cambria County District Attorney Kelly Callihan said Wednesday her office asked a judge to jail 40-year-old Bradley Kollar after the suicide attempt, but his attorney objected and the judge agreed to let him remain free on bond while illegal chemical and stolen vehicles charges against him wound their way through the courts.
 
Kollar was scheduled to be sentenced on those charges Tuesday, but instead drove his truck to the residence off Route 36 and detonated some kind of bomb, critically injuring the homeowner and one of his teenage sons. Investigators have not ruled out revenge in the bombing.
