"@911BUFF: BREAKING NEWS: BOSTON POLICE OFFICER ARRESTED AFTER MULTIPLE BOMBS AND EXPLOSIVES FOUND IN HIS HOME. CBS. #911BUFF
[link to www.boston.com] PLYMOUTH - Boston Police Officer Kirk D. Merricks has been charged with stealing military-grade explosives and storing them on the grounds of a single family home on Paddington Way where he formerly lived with his now estranged wife, officials said today.
Merricks is scheduled to be arraigned in Plymouth District Court today on 11 counts of illegal possession of explosives, four counts of receiving stolen property, and one count of possession of ammunition, according to Plymouth Police Chief Michael Botieri, whose officers arrested Merricks Thursday night.
The chief said Merricks’ estranged wife contacted his department on Thursday after she found what she feared were explosives in parts of the house and in a shed on the couple’s home at 6 Paddington Way.
The State Police Bomb Squad and Plymouth police searched the property and discovered the explosives, which included at least one hand grenade, explosive detonation cords, blasting caps and a former of TNT explosive, the chief said.
Neighbors were asked to stay inside their homes, but were not evacuated during the search, the chief said.
He said his officers are currently trying to track the history of the recovered munitions, but said detectives believe they were stolen because they are military-grade, and not publicly available.
