Man pleads guilty in federal court after over 150 homemade pipe bombs seized from his home last year

A Virginia man pleaded guilty last week in federal court, after federal agents seized about 155 homemade pipe bombs from his home last year.

The 36-year-old, Brad Spafford, faces up to 10 years in prison for each charge and is scheduled for sentencing on December 18. 

Agents also found an unregistered short-barrel rifle and other bomb-making equipment in Spafford’s home. 

Reportedly, the words “lethal” and “concussion” were written on some of the improvised explosive devices. 

According to FOX 5 DC, the items found in Spafford’s home were “possibly the largest cache of explosives ever confiscated by the FBI…”
