An Arkansas man has been arrested after being found with six homemade pipe bombs, according to court documents.

Lawrence Hickman, 52, was booked into the Benton County Jail on Thursday on six counts of criminal possession of explosive materials or a destructive device. He is being held on a $1 million bond.

According to the arrest affidavit, a woman called Bella Vista police on Dec. 9 to report that Hickman had been harassing her.

Once BVPD arrived at Hickman’s residence, the woman told police she found a bottle of chloroform in a dresser drawer.

    Guy’s gotta have a hobby!

    BTW: he had liquor for the Russians, but what did he have for the Chinese?

    BBTW: Sounds like a great funding pitch for a Nat Geo doco. If I was a multi millionaire I’d help him make it a reality. Even if he was just talking shit to avoid jail, I’d work it out with the judge and make him attempt it.

      He was planning to give liquor to the Russians so I can only imagine he planned to give the Chinese soy sauce.
