Arkansas Man Arrested in Smyth Co. for Possession of Explosives

Around here, explosives are occasionally used for fishing, gator huntin and just plain fun; but, that is here. I doubt rural Arkansas is much different. The name Abdullah is a cause for concern. Time to do a little profiling. I hope that he is not another jihadi wantabee—just a muslim redneck.

Smyth Co.,VA- An Arkansas man was arrested, and charged with multiples counts of manufacturing and possessing explosive devices after a traffic stop in Smyth County.

Around 10:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving State Trooper L. J. Testerman was traveling through Chestnut Ridge Road and Grubmore Road when he observed someone throwing some type of bottles out of a black Ford Ranger pickup. Moments later the trooper heard a loud bang come from the pickup.

-This still could be nothing, tossing homemade fireworks is better than the idiots driving by and shooting road signs. Those of us living in the woods might shoot back.

Trooper Testerman stopped the pickup truck on Chestnut Ridge Road. After a search of the vehicle the officer found explosive devices.

Abdullah has been charged with one felony count of throwing a missile at a vehicle and four counts of manufacturing and possessing an explosive device.

-This still sounds like a good old boy more than a professed minion but we will withhold judgment until the full story gets out.
