Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents confirm that agents have arrested Bryce A. Reed in connection to the investigation of the explosion in West, Texas that killed 15 people.

AFT agents say Bryce A. Reed was taken into custody just after 2am Friday morning and charged with possession of an explosive device.

Reed is with West's Emergency Medical Services and served as one of the incident commanders during the explosion at the fertilizer plant.

wait...so I didn't keep up entirely with the explosion in West but was that not caused by the fertilizer catching fire?

As far as I know only conspiracy sites were suggestion that it may not be.

That isn't good.

hmmmmm

ATF couldn't figure out what happened and busted this guy for fireworks

[Chili]

It would be nice if they would give explanation on what type of explosives.. Haven't they been trying to crack down on Tannerite? Country dude, maybe they just stumbled across the fact that he has a bunch of that, and need someone to arrest!

If I was to guess, the medic probably scooped up some of the ANF that was laying around and figured he'd play with it in the back pasture.

...and since the feds have NOTHING else to do.

This could also be a move to distract the public so they'll forget about Benghazi.

You wouldn't see local LE and DPS being involved in that.

Why not? There were already enough people claiming conspiracy over this explosion. Catch a redneck with tannerite or even the gopher traps that fire a shotgun shell, link him to the explosions thus feeding the fuel that conspiracy theorists need, and they'll cloud all of the social media sites with new videos.

It's brilliant.

That made me laugh.

Reloading equipment and supplies could be considered improvised explosive devices now days in the eyes of Almighty GOV.

Probably tannerite. This guy mentioned hunting in his eulogy and lost his house. I'm betting he collected up all his guns and "explosives" when he had to find temporary housing in a hotel and they freaked.
