Told police device left on street was stolen from him
A man charged with making a bomb found on a Prescott street in August also allegedly made one uncovered in a search of a Hastings residence by the Dakota County Drug Task Force earlier this month.
Brandon Bleyle, 27, faces up to six years in prison and fines up to $10,000 for manufacturing the explosive device that shut down streets around the Prescott Post Office for several hours on Aug. 23.
The devices are described as “sparkler bombs” in the criminal complaint filed in Pierce County Circuit Court last Tuesday against Bleyle, who reportedly moved from Hastings to Prescott within the last couple months.
According to the criminal complaint, Prescott Police Officer Eric Learned “received dispatch information that there was a package/item wrapped in red tape with a fuse coming out of it that was reported to be on the eastern side of Campbell Street.”
