A Michigan couple was accused of using an explosive device during a neighborhood dispute after investigators said one of them threw it into an elderly neighbor’s yard as the other allegedly lit the fuse.
The incident allegedly happened on August 3 outside the couple’s residence. According to prosecutors, the device was a red cylinder with the words “BYE BYE” written on it. Authorities said the fuse was lit before the device was thrown into the neighboring yard, where a 72-year-old resident put it out before it exploded.
After investigating the incident, the authorities executed a search warrant at the couple’s home. Investigators reportedly recovered firearms, ammunition, and components believed to be used in making explosive devices, leading to additional criminal allegations.
