Explosive materials seized in Pulaski
By Kent Tempus, Leader editor
A potential disaster was averted after a man who for years built homemade
fireworks at his mother’s Pulaski home was arrested Friday night.
The amount of explosive materials found during a search earlier in the day
posed a serious threat to occupants of the residence and the residents in the
immediate area of the home, Pulaski Police chief Randal Dunford said.
“I feel we prevented something tragic from happening,” Dunford said. “One
simple mistake — or even static electricity — would have sparked those chemicals
and created an explosion.”
Authorities seized eight improvised explosive devices and about 300 pounds
of raw chemicals used to make explosive devices, along with other components
commonly used in manufacture of pyrotechnics.
“It was a very volatile and dangerous situation,” Dunford said. “We could
have lost several homes, and human lives. The potential for tragedy was
huge.”
The suspect, Jon D. Peplinski, 46, was arrested at his Green Bay home by
Pulaski Police officers about 9:20 p.m. Friday.
He was booked into Brown County Jail and is being held on three felony
charges — possession of explosives, possession of improvised explosive devices
and reckless endangerment.
With most of the MSM accusing a lot of people of being a part of the radical tea party movement, when will they tag that on this guy? Come on Green Bay P G and Appleton PC, write that this guy is a radical right wing tea party nut! Go ahead, I double dare you.
