SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Authorities have arrested a 43-year-old man after they located explosive devices and firearms at his residence while serving a search warrant in connection with multiple area burglaries.
Authorities say they connected 43-year-old Mark Einerwold to three separate burglaries throughout June and July in Tea and Dell Rapids.
Authorities served a search warrant at Einerwold’s residence in the 1100 block of South Blaine Avenue in Sioux Falls at around 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
While serving the search warrant, detectives found what they say were bomb making materials and chemicals. The Sioux Falls Police bomb squad were called to the residence and authorities evacuated the surrounding area.
Authorities say they found multiple explosive devices as well as aluminum nitrate and aluminum powder, which authorities say have no use other than for an explosive device.
Authorities also seized multiple firearms and a homemade firearm silencer from the residence.
Einerwold was arrested on multiple burglary charges and for the sale or transportation of a destructive device. Authorities say more charges may be coming.
Authorities say they found multiple items related to Antifa, an anti-fascist militant group, as well as other items indicating an extreme hatred for law enforcement and government.
“We don’t know what his intentions were, or what they were. But it’s pretty safe to say, we stopped something from happening,” said Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Captain Jason Gearman.
Authorities say the investigation is ongoing.
The Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office, Sioux Falls Police, ATF, and the FBI all assisted in the incident.
“Authorities say they found multiple items related to Antifa, an anti-fascist militant group, as well as other items indicating an extreme hatred for law enforcement and government.”
‘We don’t know what his intentions were, or what they were...’
Why do they always say stupid stuff like that? Are they thinking he’s a Choir Boy? Yeesh!
(Yeah, I know. Presumed Innocent...until something blows up or cops are murdered.)
All the usual ‘justice’ clowns will gather to ensure the Rat defendant is treated with kid gloves.
For one thing, stop calling Antifa an “anti-fascist group”. If anyone is fascist, it’s Antifa.
Modeled after the 60s Weathermen group?
Or Baader-Meinhof Gang.
I expect him to:
- Have an intervention by Steve Cohen and Maxine Waters
- Subsequently be released, and have all his materials returned to him.
- Be given professional-grade explosive devices and munitions.
- Be given a command position in a civilian ‘army’ intended to commit an outright coup.
Once in a while it is true.
In my little town about 15 years ago the sheriff found a man with a garage full of home made explosives of dozens of different kinds.
Turned out the guy was a hobbyist of sorts. He just had a insatiable curiosity about explosives.
He had dozens of jars on shelves filled with explosives he had made.
A moderate earthquake could have blown up the neighborhood.
I believe it has in a few states. I think Christie did it in NJ before leaving office.
For one thing, stop calling Antifa an “anti-fascist group”. If anyone is fascist, it’s Antifa.

More like Communist, but totalitarian in any case.

I’m sure antifa just had some leftovers from their 4th of July celebration.
I just call them Democrats.
Commie-fa
More like anti-antifa.
Soros needs to be strung up by the kiwis.
Same euro commies born from post WWI Europe. They should not be merely dismissed as a bunch of punk kids either (although many are). The leaders are hard core committed communists with plenty of funding, training and equipping provided to them in the US.
They need to be exterminated.
What are they really, some sort of ‘supremacist’ using fascist as a false narrative? I don’t know if narrative is the right word.
I do think they are a terrorist group for sure.
Article didn’t say if the materials were pro- or anti-Antifa.
