A bomb squad responded to the 12700 block of Newport Avenue in an unincorporated county area near Tustin about 9 a.m. Wednesday after neighbors reported hearing an explosion, officials said. Two other mysterious explosions had been reported in the same area in recent weeks.

Deputies soon found pieces of a shattered terra cotta chiminea in Welch's backyard, according to the statement. Welch told investigators he accidentally caused the explosion by placing an aerosol can in the burning chiminea. No injuries were reported.

Deputies noticed items in plain sight at Welch's home that appeared to be explosives and fireworks. An OCSD Hazardous Devices Squad took charge of the scene and evacuated nearby residents as they obtained a search warrant for the home, officials said.

“Presumptively a Jihadist.”

I’m presuming that the would be terrorist bomber is Welch.

He looks like an IRA affirmative action, bomb maker dropout:!

Well, when I was in high school I made fireworks in the basement. I think if I were making bombs I'd do it in a shed in the back yard.

When I was in highschool some kid stole a huge chunk of potassium from the chem lab and blew a bunch of the water out of a local pond.

More likely metallic sodium. I’ve done that trick. It’s pretty spectacular.

Probably against the Homeowner’s Association rules and regs.

[Kickass Conservative]

If someone’s Garage is full of empty Glass Bottles, Rags, a Can of Gasoline and a box of Matches, they could accuse them of possessing Bomb making materials.

You make bombs in a studio, preferably with large budgets and actors whose careers are dying.

[MrEdd]

A bunch of parents on the schoolboard got pissed.

Not about the pond or the explosion or that a kid could have gotten hurt of course, but over the cost of what was stolen from the lab.
