Bomb squad responds to incident involving man with alleged history of making explosives
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) – What started as a domestic dispute resulted in the bomb squad being called in and discovering an explosive device. The initial incident happened around 7:40 a.m., Thursday after the Grand Junction Police Department responded to a report of a fight in the 2000 block of North 21st Street. After arriving at the scene, officers learned the dispute turned into a physical altercation. The man, Dominic Roberts, 26, was then taken into custody. During their investigation, officers discovered Roberts allegedly had a history of making and detonating homemade improvised explosive devices (IUD) in remote desert areas. Officers obtained a search warrant for the home while the GJ Bomb squad was called in to assist. During the search, bomb technicians found a homemade IUD inside the house and safely removed it. Roberts was transported to the Mesa County Detention Facility and was booked for second-degree assault, harassment, domestic violence, possession, use or removal of explosive devices and failure or refusal to leave premises or property with a weapon. GJPD said it believes this was an isolated incident with no ongoing threat to the community. 'We remind the community to report suspicious activity or information to law enforcement immediately. Community awareness and timely reporting can make a significant difference in public safety,' the police department said in a news release. The case remains under investigation.
