Federal agents discovered one of the largest stockpiles of homemade explosives ever seized during the arrest of a Virginia man on a firearms charge. The search of Brad Spafford’s home in December yielded over 150 pipe bombs and bomb-making materials. Spafford, 36, faces charges related to possession of a firearm and potential charges related to the explosives. Defense attorneys argue that there is no evidence of violent intent and question the usability of the devices. The investigation began in 2023 after an informant reported Spafford’s stockpiling of weapons and ammunition.
