A man from Maine has been arrested for allegedly using homemade explosives to target civilians involved in political disputes with certain local officials.
What’s the deal: According to authorities in Woodland, Maine, Joshua Brydon, 37, constructed the explosive devices using fireworks, propane bottles, and other materials, setting them off near several homes. One of the explosions was powerful enough to knock items off the walls inside a residence. Authorities say Brydon also used drones to drop some of the explosives.
Who he targeted: Court documents indicate that Brydon targeted people who had issues with a former member of the Woodland Select Board and his father-in-law, the town’s road commissioner.
Brydon faces charges including arson, attempted arson, criminal use of explosives, stalking, and endangering the welfare of a child, along with a separate charge for illegal firearm possession.
