BELLA VISTA., Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas man was arrested after police said six homemade pipe bombs were found at his home.

Lawrence Hickman, 52, was arrested last week on six counts of criminal possession of explosive materials or a destructive device. He is being held at the Benton County Jail on a $1 million bond, jail records show.

Available court records did not indicate if Lawrence has an attorney to speak on his behalf. He did not have an attorney present at his initial court appearance last week.

Court records indicate the bombs were found when law enforcement officers came to his Bella Vista home to investigate a woman’s harassment complaint.

An investigator wrote in a statement included in court records that the pipe bombs were X-rayed and found to be live.

Court records indicate a neighbor told investigators that Hickman wanted to kayak to the Philippines, where he said his new wife lived, and planned to start the journey by kayaking through the Bering Sea. The neighbor told investigators that Lawrence said the pipe bombs were for defense against sharks and pirates and that he was also bringing liquor for Russians.

Years ago I had a great aunt who lived in Michigan. She was dating this guy who was a real nut (they were both old hippy alcoholics who were batshit crazy). The guy got arrested on similar charges for building and possessing pipe bombs. It was nothing nefarious for him, though, he was at war with moles in his yard. He blew the shite out of a couple of them before those Gestapo bastards intervened.

Apparently he told his neighbor they were for depth charging sharks as he crossed the Bering Sea in his kayak.

Makes sense. One can never be too careful when dealing with sharks and pirates in a kayak. Better to have it and not need it... amirite? And everyone knows Russians love liquor.

With our luck that silly bastard will wind up landing in Russia with a pocket full of pipe bombs and shark fins and we will be in another war.
