CASCADE, Md. -- Maryland fire investigators said a Washington County man was charged after a fake hand grenade was found in his apartment.

The Maryland fire marshal's office said 58-year-old Philip Charles Taylor was charged Tuesday with manufacture of a phony destructive device and possession of a phony destructive device. Officials said a county sheriff's deputy and the owner of the apartment on MacAfee Hill Road found the object while serving an eviction notice.

Bomb technicians and state investigators were called to the scene and determined the object was a non-explosive device.

The fire marshal's office said Taylor was later arrested on the 13000 block of Ritchie Road.

Teh “American people” are the ones that put obama in the White House. The “American people” are the ones that put the Democrat Party in control of the House and Senate in 2006 and 2008. The “American people” are the ones that said it was o.k. for the TSA to give them rectal exams when they flew if it would make them “feel secure”. Each time that I can recall, when allowed to choose freedom over “being made to feel secure” the “American people” have chosen “being made to feel secure”. The “American people are the reason we are in the mess we are today. Why? Because the “American people” put the individuals that put us where we are today in political office by a majority vote.

...I’d rather assume that The American people would never allow themselves to be so compliant with such tyranny.

“”with manufacture of a phony destructive device and possession of a phony destructive device””

I guess they don’t know the definition of “phony.”

The pin on that is backwards - grenades are designed for right-handed people. Hold grenade in right hand, thumb of right hand on spoon, pull pin with left hand.

You have depicted a left-handed grenade.

What is really funny is that real grenades look like this now.

Buy all the deactivated military surplus grenades you want at Amazon and 1,000 other vendors.

If the fake grenade was rigged to resemble a booby trap, the charges could be justified.

how so ??? it was afterall a fake...

if i build a plastic model of a racecar, does it have to be proven to be emission compliant ???

like you said, too little real info in the story, but we're in dangerous territory of all being 'bomb makers' for having the standard stuff under the kitchen sink...

I’m fairly certain the intended operation of the complaint grenade does not include the successfully throwing of it.

Could they possibly have busted this guy for owning an inert (phony) hand grenade???

One doesn’t like to think so, but this being Maryland....

If not for voter fraud and maybe even Obamafraud, I’m not sure that Obama would have been elected in the first place. I’m not sure he would’ve made it past the primaries. I assume there was much voter fraud working in favor of Obama but what I don’t know is how much there was and how much of a factor it will be again in November of 2012. It’s “By Any Means Necessary” with those people and if you don’t believe that then well, that’s your prerogative.

I believe that. I have posted more than one time the 2012 election will be dirty, nasty, and mean. It is going to be a knock down and drag out brawl. It will separate the boys from the men and the girls from the women. It will be no place for the faint hearted. The Communists have came too close to accomplishing their goal to be twarted by the results of an election.

So, will he need a fake attorney, and will he serve time in a fake prison?

You might be disappointed if you’ve seen what I have. Many people wouldn’t just be compliant, they’d be downright cheering (can’t count how many times I’ve seen people flat out declare that there are no such things as rights and one’s life and property are PRIVILEGES given by government).
