The Barrie senior who pleaded guilty to a raft of bomb-related charges and helping dispose of a dead body is getting out of jail.
Barrie police confirm that William Feldhoff, 78, is being released from the Central North Correctional Centre in Penetanguishene today after serving four a half years for explosives charges and a concurrent sentence for helping dispose of Michael Traynor's body in 1978.
The strange saga began in July 2012 when Feldhoff's son Donald went to police, sparking the evacuation of the Feldhoff's Virgilwood Crescent neighbourhood.
Police spent nearly two weeks removing explosive devices, dangerous chemicals, illegal weapons and booby traps from Feldhoff's home.
William Feldhoff pleaded guilty to 16 weapons and explosive charges and was sentenced to four and a half years in jail.
In October, Feldhoff was sentenced to 20 months in jail after pleading guilty to improperly interfering with a dead human body.
Donald Feldhoff is awaiting trial on a first-degree murder charge in connection with Traynor's death.
