Cody A. Balmer

Cody A. Balmer is a 35-year-old man from Penbrook, Pennsylvania, who was recently in the news for attempting to attack the Governor's residence with homemade Molotov cocktails.

Despite claiming he had no mental health issues, Balmer’s social media history reflects strong anti-government sentiments. He has a criminal record that includes charges of forgery and assault, and he is currently being held without bail due to concerns about his risk to the community.
