Pipe bombs found in Jackson County Home

Authorities have confirmed that a Jackson County resident discovered pipe bombs in his home.

The man, who lives in the home located in the 15,000 block of Big Ridge Road, came across a chest full of explosives inside the house. He claims the chest belongs to his former roommate, who just moved out.

The response to that call led to an investigation involving Biloxi Police Department’s Bomb Squad and Federal Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents.

Jackson County Sheriff Mike Ezell tells News 25 that the investigation has been turned over to the ATF.
