MICHIGAN MAN CHARGE WITH POSSESSING EXPLOSIVES
A
64-year-old Michigan man, who allegedly made anti-government
statements, has been ordered held without bond after
being charged with possessing over 4,000 pounds
of explosives.
Authorities said an informant led them to the recovery
of 83 bags of explosives, each weighing about 50
pounds, along with 2000 feet of detonating cord
and dozens of blasting caps from a residence in
Dafter.
At the time of his arrest, the man was already facing
state charges - larceny by false pretense, assaulting
and resisting officers, falsely reporting a felony
and being a habitual offender - that arose from
incidents linked to his pending divorce.
Authorities did not reveal how the man came to be
in possession of the explosives or what his intended
purposes may have been for the materials. If convicted,
the charges carry a 10-year felony.
