An Arkansas man has been arrested after being found with six homemade pipe bombs, according to court documents.

Lawrence Hickman, 52, was booked into the Benton County Jail on Thursday on six counts of criminal possession of explosive materials or a destructive device. He is being held on a $1 million bond.

According to the arrest affidavit, a woman called Bella Vista police on Dec. 9 to report that Hickman had been harassing her.

Once BVPD arrived at Hickman’s residence, the woman told police she found a bottle of chloroform in a dresser drawer.

    As an Arkansas resident, I hate hearing Arkansas on the national stage. It’s never good.

      Arkansas has great barbecue and a beautiful stony countryside.

        There’s a lot to love about Arkansas. Unfortunately, 2/3 of the residents are either deplorable or don’t mind hatefulness.

        Fun fact, the it’s named after the Kansa tribe (pronounced Cans-Uh). We added “Ar”, slightly changed the pronunciation “Can-Saw”, and added a silent French “s” that was never intended to be pronounced.

        Then those uncultured philistines in Kansas decided to pronounce it and confused everyone.
