A man arrested last week after a bomb was discovered in his car faces formal charges in the case.

 

 Police in Golden City, MO, pulled over a vehicle with expired tags last Tuesday and instead of just issuing a ticket, discovered an explosive device instead.

 

When officers spotted a duct tape-covered object in Terry Mitchell’s car, they asked him what it was. Mitchell told them, it was a bomb. The Springfield Bomb Squad was called to the scene to render the device harmless. An x-ray later revealed that it was an actual explosive device.

 

Mitchell was taken into custody and faces multiple charges including Unlawful Possession, Transport, Manufacture, Repair, or Sale of an Illegal Weapon. His next court date is set for Tuesday, October 1.
