A Yankton man has been arrested and charged with possession of an explosive or device with intent to injure; intimidate, or destroy property.
Yankton Police Chief, Jason Foote, says that Jared Herbert Nichols, 30, was arrested Monday after he threatened to burn a business down and mentioned that he had a pipe bomb.
Foote says that officers later learned that Nichols had also made a purchase of materials that could be used to make a homemade explosive device.
In addition to the possession of an explosive charge, Nichols has been charged with threatening a law enforcement officer.
