DENVER – U.S. Attorney Jason R. Dunn announced that Bradley
Bunn, age 53, from Northern Colorado, was arrested this weekend after being
charged by criminal complaint with possession of illegal destructive devices,
namely pipe bombs, which were found after a search warrant was executed at
Bunn’s residence. Bunn is scheduled to
have his initial appearance via video conference tomorrow before a U.S. Magistrate
Judge, where he will be advised of his rights and the charges pending against
him. The FBI and the ATF joined in this
announcement.
According to the facts contained in the affidavit in support
of the criminal complaint, on May 1, 2020, FBI special agents, along with other
law enforcement officers and agents, executed two search warrants in Northern
Colorado. Both search warrants were for
the residence of Bradley Bunn.
During the search of Bunn’s residence, FBI agents discovered
four pipe bombs. Separately, the
technicians found two one-pound containers of .308 caliber cartridge reloading
gunpowder in Bunn’s vehicle, which is a potential pipe bomb component. Bomb technicians transported the destructive
devices to a range where they were successfully rendered safe.
Bunn has been charged with the possession of destructive
devices. If convicted he faces not more
than 10 years in federal prison, and up to a $250,000 fine. A criminal complaint is a probable cause
charging document. Anyone accused of
committing a federal crime has a Constitutional right to be indicted by a grand
jury.
This matter was investigated by the FBI and ATF, with
support from local law enforcement.
The charges contained in this indictment are allegations,
and the defendant is presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty in a court
of law.
