Explosives and Illegal Firearm Manufacturing
While searching the suspect’s vehicle, deputies located the handgun believed to have been used in the road rage incident. More alarmingly, they also discovered a homemade explosive device, commonly referred to as a pipe bomb.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Arson Explosives Detail was called to the scene to safely neutralize and remove the device. Investigators also found evidence suggesting the suspect had been illegally manufacturing firearms and weapon components.
Suspects Face Multiple Felony Charges
The male suspect, along with a woman identified as his girlfriend, was arrested at the home. Both were charged with multiple felony weapons violations, as neither was legally permitted to own or possess firearms or ammunition.
In addition, the man faces charges related to stolen property possession and unlawful possession of an explosive device.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have not yet disclosed further details.
