San Diego-area man suspected of making explosives

Authorities say a San Diego County man has been arrested on suspicion of making explosive devices.

Escondido Police Lt. Craig Carter says officers responding to neighbor reports that 45-year-old Richard Hinkel was screaming obscenities in his backyard Sunday morning found 18 explosive devices, fireworks, 12 rifles and 10 handguns on the property and arrested Hinkel.

A bomb and arson unit from the sheriff’s department confiscated the devices and guns.
