LPD, OHP investigating “dangerous items” at residence in west Lawton
Police and Bomb Squad Investigate Green Terrace Apartment
'Police' thought it was a 'drug lab'. Not a drug lab. Other type of 'lab'.
A Retriever?
FYI. Lawton, Oklahoma is home to Ft. Sill, one of the largest Army posts in the country. It is the home of the School of Atrillery.
$10 says its castor beans.
My first 10 years of life were spent there. I won’t mention cracks in the drywall from all the artillery practice. Ah, the memories
Lemme guess, a giant shipment of maga hats.
OK I’ll speculate. A large amount of carfentanyl? A setup to make sodium chlorate with a fishtank and computer power supply? A home DNA lab?
The presence of the bomb squad would suggest that the cops suspect a bunch of energetic material.
I was stationed there a couple different times. I went to BCT there and came back in the mid 90’s as Cadre. I liked Lawton. Good folks there.
Some poor bastard was probably just a handloader. FBI horned in and took over the case once the locals had secured and made the scene safe.
Some National Guard gun bunny took some charge bags home after Annual Training. - Just a guess.
PING
You mean THIS article?
As a kid it was a nice place. Didn’t realize how small town it was until I moved to Texas. Dad was an LEO there. It’s come a long way from the place I remember.
Those things gave me nightmares. I always knew that somehow they would miss the targets and my house would get hit.
You could be right. My first thought was a bottle of bleach and a bottle of ammonia under the sink, or a bag of fertilizer and a can of gasoline by the lawn mower. From the activity, it might even be tannerite. Or stolen airbags.
Or it could be a clockmaker named Mohammed.
Is Mueller there yet?
It’s not that far from OKC and Norman, OK where some of the 9/11 terrorists were. Also, that wacko who wanted to blow up the football stadium. And the OKC bombing.
