LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man accused of throwing multiple Molotov cocktails earlier this year has pleaded no contest to charges.

28-year-old Daniel Wylie Walter entered the plea Monday on five misdemeanor counts of attempted possession of a destructive device. He is scheduled to be sentenced on March 6.

A Molotov cocktail is a crude incendiary device, like gasoline in a jar or bottle, that’s typically lit with a rag. Authorities say four of them were thrown in the Cripple Creek area in March 2013. A fifth was thrown in a different area. The bottles caused minor damage but did not turn into large fires.
