Police found more than a dozen improvised explosive devices in the residence of a Tennessee man who allegedly threatened to kill local public officials and law-enforcement officers. Polk County sheriff’s deputies went to the ramshackle wooded home of Kevin Wade O’Neal,

I will die killing you before I take comfort in life surrendering to your wishes,” suspect Kevin O’Neal allegedly wrote in a social media post.

Officers found 14 improvised explosive devices while executing a search warrant for a man who had threatened to kill public officials and tried to detonate the devices as he was being arrested, Tennessee authorities said Saturday.
