A Clearfield County man who gave undercover federal agents explicit instructions on how to make what he called "bean can grenades" has been arrested
on weapons charges.
Bradley Kahle, 60, of Troutville, who said the election of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama would prompt a civil war
, is being held
pending a detention hearing tomorrow in Johnstown.
He is one of four men now charged in separate but related investigations by the U.S. Attorney's Office related to possible militia activity.
The other three men, also in custody, were indicted by a federal grand jury last week. They will have detention hearings in Pittsburgh tomorrow.
According to an eight-page affidavit filed in Mr. Kahle's case in U.S. District Court today, undercover officers have been meeting with him for more than a year.
On Sunday, federal agents served a search warrant on his home, finding 16 improvised explosive devices in a "gun reloading room." They were made out of cardboard cylinders and sealed on both ends with epoxy, with non-electric fusing systems. Agents also found cans of fragmentation and bags of lead shot.
At a previous visit to his home on April 10, according to the affidavit, Mr. Kahle showed two undercover agents several firearms, including assault rifles and a sniper rifle, as well as 5,000 rounds of ammunition.
