ammonium nitrate arrest
These are just increasing in popularity, so I thought I would put this one up. The fellow appears to have numerous problems, besides fertilizer:

[link to www.starnewsonline.com]


The arrest of a man in Columbus County Friday led to the discovery of 200 pounds of ammonium nitrate by the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.


Columbus County Sheriff's Office detectives arrested James L. Hewitt Friday night after a fight involving his parents and brother two days earlier. Officials accuse Hewitt, 46, of Supply of pushing his elderly mother down the front steps. He was charged with assault on a female, assault by pointing a gun, two counts of assault on an officer and three counts of possession of a weapon of mass destruction after detectives found three rifles converted to fully automatic fire


Edit-I don't know a blasted thing about explosives, so hopefully someone can say if this is a lot or not.

Mixed with diesel fuel in the appropriate ratio and well placed it could level a good sized building, yes.

Re: ammonium nitrate arrest
200 lbs is nothing.
there are many large farmers
in Columbus Cty that keep
thousands of pounds of
fertilizer in their warehouse
to use on their farms.

200 lbs is a small amount to a farmer.
It's just 2 100 lb bags.

That only fertilizes about 10 acres
of crops.

There are farmers that have hundreds
of acres of crops. Are they gonna raid
them also ???

When did farming become a crime ???

I can understand about the modified
guns

but the fertilizer is just bull shit

farmers go to the supply store every day
and fill up their trucks with tons of
fertilizer. and some buy it out of season
because it is cheaper.

Re: ammonium nitrate arrest
That's one of the things I find interesting about this case-how are they going to determine when ammonium nitrate is a fertilizer and when it is a potential weapon?

Lots of things are potential weapons.
