Bomb Squad Finds More Explosives at Newaygo Student’s Home, Father Charged
The Michigan State Police is reporting a second search of a home in Newaygo turned up even more explosive materials.
The home belongs to the Newaygo High student who reportedly brought a bomb to school on Monday.
The student’s father, 33-year-old named David Saylor, is facing charges related to the explosion Monday morning that injured the 16-year-old student who brought the bomb, four others, and a teacher.
Saylor’s charges include the manufacture or possession of a Molotov Cocktail and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Law enforcement searched the student’s home on Monday and found explosive devices that had to be detonated.
Now the bomb squad is reporting on Tuesday that it has found even more explosive materials at the residence and unstable materials were counter-charged.
Here's the bomb maker's house.

A Molotov Cocktail isn't an explosive device.
It's an incendiary, but it doesn't and can't explode.
My father was an expert witness in an English court case which hinged on this point. The defendants, who had admitted the posession of Molotov Cocktails during a riot, were found not guilty of possession of explosives. They were convicted under the Petroleum Act for unlawful storage of flammable liquids.
