http://www.kitsapsun.com/bsun/local/article/0,2403,BSUN_19088_5540667,00.htmlMilitary issue explosives that included grenades, anti-tank rockets and firing devices were among the cache of weapons discovered at the Central Kitsap home of a 38-year-old man, who made an initial court appearance Wednesday.
Brian K. Sandberg could now face charges of unlawful possession of explosives and possession of stolen government property. He made an initial appearance in Kitsap County Superior Court and is being held on $100,000 bail.
The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office, with help from other jurisdictions, served a search warrant at a Hamilton Place address Tuesday after Sandberg’s wife reported he had "loaded pistols and rifles around the house in plain view and not locked up," as well as a rifle with a M203 grenade launcher.
Other items confiscated included at least eight handguns, four rifles, grenades, two shotguns and "thousands" of ammunition magazines, according to court documents. A report also included information that Sandberg had recently went to a store near Fort Lewis to purchase "armored plates" for one of his bulletproof vests, and that loaded pistols were often in plain view of his four children, ages 15, 11, 8 and 5.
Scott Wilson, sheriff’s spokesman, said it is still unclear what he planned to do with the arsenal, but he confirmed that it went well beyond "his Second Amendment rights."
"The question is ‘How did he come to have this stuff, and what did he plan to do with it?’" Wilson said.
