MADISONVILLE, La. — A Madisonville man who was making explosive devices in his home has been arrested by the FBI for dealing in those materials without a license, according to court documents in the Eastern District of Louisiana.

The FBI says that Robert Coleman, 66, admitted to agents that he had built improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in his house. The documents also say that Coleman had previously been arrested in 1991 in Jefferson Parish for manufacturing explosive devices though that arrest was later expunged.


Some action going down in sleepy ol’ Madisonville. Any ideas as to why he is being held in Plaquemines Parish?

What's hilarious about this is the way the FBI managed to snake all of the publicity even though, in the second to last paragraph, the truth is stated.

quote:

The FBI New Orleans division was first alerted to Coleman's alleged activities in January. From there, an investigation eventually led Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents to secure a search warrant for Coleman's house on Wednesday. That search was executed the next day.


They let the AFT do all the work and then they stepped in right when the TV cameras showed up. Typical of the Bureau. They are the undisputed Masters of the Limelight.

Wonder if it’s just some kook or if he’s aligned with a cause or purpose?

Ol baw was probably trying to get rid of some hogs or beavers at the lease. I thought this was a free country?

Dude has an American flag outside his house, guilty as hell.


quote:

The documents say Coleman met the agents in his driveway and waived his Miranda rights, talking freely to the agents and admitting he purchased explosive materials and constructed some IEDs. He even told the agents where they could be found in his home.

Bomb technicians recovered the items.

Off subject, but the FBI just stepped in on a big interstate kidnapping/human trafficking and financial fraud case where some guys in New York had some lady hostage and were forcing her to cash checks with like 20 or 30 different fake state ID's in the glamorous town of Olla. La's FBI agents been busy.

I've told the story here about a guy my great aunt (more the age of an aunt, as my grandmother had her late-in-life) was dating for a bit. Back in the mid-90s they were living in Michigan when the ATF showed up at the door. Their neighbors had called police about a couple of explosions they had heard from their property.

After a quick search of the property it turned out that the guy had, in fact, been making pipe bombs in the garage. The next, obvious, question was......why? Well, he had a pretty bad mole problem on his property, and had been blowing up their tunnels with the pipe bombs. He somehow avoided any serious charges, so I guess they either believed him or sympathized with his battle.

This dude is so fricked. In this day and age, who doesn't know NOT TO TALK to the FBI?

Also, given his behavior, he is either serious hard-core loon who bragged to them because he really believes in some cause or some completely goofy baw who told them "shite yes I bought that stuff, I been killing beavers and blowing up dams because of flooding... Why? Am I not allowed to do that?"
