A Spring Valley man who threw a pair of Molotov cocktails — neither of which fully ignited — into a National City home occupied by three children was sentenced Monday to five years in federal prison.

"This defendant's actions put three children at great risk because of a grown-up grudge, and the price for that is prison," said U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman."This is a fitting sentence for an offender who used an explosive device to settle a score."

Prosecutors allege the van stolen in that case was being driven by Andrews during the time of the arson. He was sentenced to six years in state prison in that case, then indicted in late 2020 in the federal case.
