Minneapolis Bomb Squad called out Friday in Willmar after arrest of Lake Lillian man

The Minneapolis Police Department Bomb Squad was called out to secure two suspected explosive devices Friday after local police found them during an investigation into a physical domestic incident in Willmar, according to a news release from Willmar Police Chief Jim Felt.

According to Felt, a 38-year-old Lake Lillian man was arrested in connection with the incident and is facing a litany of potential charges including possession of an explosive or incendiary device, driving while impaired, drug possession, domestic assault, threats of violence and possession of a short-barreled shotgun.

Felt declined to provide a photo of the suspected devices while the case remains open but wrote in an email that “some devices were disguised in everyday items, like a flashlight for one.”
