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.
“Officers spoke with a neighbor who said that Hickman wanted to kayak to the Philippines where his wife was and planned to travel to Alaska, and through the Bering Sea.”
From Arkansas? 🤔
I mean, I guess he could take the Mississippi down through Mississippi and Louisiana to the Gulf of Mexico, down to the Panama Canal and into the Pacific Ocean, up the coast to Alaska and across that way…
TECHNICALLY possible.
Doubt he’d be able to get through the canal on a kayak, no?
Probably easier than going around the horn, I dunno.
