Man arrested Wednesday after traffic stop
A man arrested Wednesday with bomb-making materials in his car had drugs and an alligator in his home, a federal agent testified Friday.
Clayton Earthman, 43, was arrested after police said he ran a stop sign near Fair Park.
An officer said Earthman had a gun in his car. A search later revealed he had bomb-making material and notes on how to make bombs, police said.
Earthman claimed to be a “Doomsday Prepper.” A cable TV show by the same name profiles people preparing for the end of the world.
On Thursday, agents with the bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives searched his house near Pleasant Grove.
They found 15 marijuana plants, bomb-making material, and an alligator, according to a Dallas police report.
Neighbors say they saw agents carry two alligators from the home on Woodard Avenue.
"That's scary,” said neighbor Susan Collins. “We didn't know he had all that."
At his court appearance, a judge ordered Earthman held without bond because he was a danger to the community.
“if you have drano or PVC pipe then you have “bomb making materials”
“A bag of fertilizer and a can of gas for the mower, or a bottle of bleach and a bottle of ammonia are enough for a one way ticket to the camps these days.”
Don’t forget a pressure cooker.
What could go wrong?............
“Hold muh bomb while I light muh bong”
Not true. The song in question was recorded by Johnny Rebel, NOT Johnny Horton. This has been wrongly attributed to Johnny Horton in numerous publications and on the internet, but it isn’t true. Here is a good article on this confusion: http://www.spasticmonkeys.com/lileks-blew-it/
Well that’s good to know though it is still being attributed to him on sites like Last.fm. You would think if he had family they would still try to defend his name.
when SHTF he’ll have nice boots and no one else will
LOL! Grammar.
Dye!!!
LOL! God bless you, Mr. Driftdiver!
What’s a prepper?
Could be anything these days - that guy that the cops followed to my house had “precursors for meth production”.
That turned out to be a bunch of matches that he claimed they were going to decorate and use in a relative’s wedding.
I was thinking he might have been listening to too much Johnny Horton.
You nailed it. That’s the first response I got.
