Woman Arrested in S.D. Courthouse Explosion
May 18, 2008, 1:59 PM PDT 
SAN DIEGO -- The father of a San Diego woman arrested in
connection with the May 4 bombing at a downtown federal courthouse
said he was shocked to learn about the accusations against his
daughter."I can't even comprehend it," Gaynor Carlock said. "I can't believe it." Carlock told the San Diego Union-Tribune in an interview published Sunday that he learned from his sister that his daughter, Rachelle Lynette Carlock, 31, is accused of buying four pounds of gunpowder with a fake driver's license. She was arrested by the FBI and arraigned Friday on eight felony counts. None accuses her of constructing, planting or detonating the pipe bomb that exploded outside the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building. The pipe bomb exploded about 1:40 a.m. and sent shrapnel up to two blocks away. No one was injured. She is being held without bond. Gaynor Carlock, 50, said he hasn't seen his daughter since summer. She had moved beyond a troubled past, he said, and the news of her arrest was "devastating." Court records show she pleaded guilty to a 1998 attempted robbery and was sentenced to two years in prison. In 1996, police responded to a domestic dispute between Carlock and her boyfriend. She told them her boyfriend had killed an El Cajon man and the boyfriend was later sentenced to a minimum of 25 years for murder. "This is way out of character," Gaynor Carlock said. "She had a bad past, but she cleaned herself up." "I don't know if somebody talked her into it or forced her," he added. "Somebody knows something because that's not her state of mind to come up with something like that." Copyright © 2008, KTLA
