Authorities report a Virginia man stockpiled over 150 homemade explosives, raising serious safety concerns for the community
Isle of Wight County: A Virginia man, Brad Spafford, has been caught with a staggering amount of homemade explosives. Authorities say he had over 150 devices, including pipe bombs, at his home.
Spafford, 36, was labeled a serious threat to his community. He was arrested after a minor charge related to a short-barrel rifle led to a search of his property.
During the search, the FBI discovered a stockpile of dangerous explosives, some marked as “lethal.” They even found unstable materials in jars that were clearly labeled “do not touch.”
What’s even more alarming? Some of the bombs were hidden in a backpack with a patch that read “#NoLivesMatter.” This group is known for promoting violence and criminal acts.
Documents revealed that Spafford had used images of President Biden for target practice and had expressed support for political violence. He even sought sniper training at a local range.
His release from custody was blocked by a federal judge, citing the extreme danger he posed to his family and the community. Spafford’s lawyer, however, argued that the claims against him were unfounded and based on fear.
He insisted that Spafford is just a hardworking family man with no prior criminal record. The case has raised serious concerns about safety and the potential for political violence.
