NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Investigators are trying to determine whether 100 pounds of military-grade explosives found at the home of an Army Special Forces soldier were taken from Fort Campbell.
Sgt. 1st Class Timothy Ryan Richards is scheduled to appear in federal court in Nashville on Thursday for a detention hearing for possessing two unregistered automatic weapons. Officials have said he may face more charges related to the explosives.
He was arrested Monday after a pair of hunters found the explosives, including a plastic explosive called C-4, near his home close to the installation on the Tennessee-Kentucky state line.
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Special Agent in Charge James Cavanaugh said the agency is working with Army officials to determine the source of the explosives.
