LIHUE, Hawaii (KITV4) -- Authorities arrested a Kauai man after police and the federal agents found illegal drugs and homemade explosives in his Lihue home.
Search warrants were served at the 39-year-old suspect’s home and vehicle in the Hanamaulu area on Tuesday.
Bomb squad technicians found five homemade pyrotechnic devices resembling M80-style fireworks. They also said they found an item that resembles a pipe bomb.
