County deputies arrested a Green River man on August 23rd after an explosion damaged his cousin’s pickup. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. said deputies were dispatched to an address on Fairview Lane north of Rock Springs at around 10:00 PM on the 22nd, where they discovered that the driver’s side rear tail light assembly of a Dodge Ram pickup had been blown off with an explosives charge. The truck resembled one that belonged to Justin Palmer.
Deputy Sheriff Sean Henry examined Palmer’s pickup and found an unexploded “mortar shell” in the tailpipe. The shell type was a large, consumer firework. The fuse had been lit but had apparently gone out. In the meanwhile, Corporal Jason Mower located the vehicle described by Palmer near the intersection of Yellowstone Road and U.S. Highway 191 and stopped it. Inside were Kyle Henderson and the associate identified by Palmer.
Henry and Mower placed Henderson under arrest and transported him to the Sweetwater County Detention Center. He is charged with Possession, Manufacture, Transportation and Sale of Explosives, Improvised Explosive Device, or Incendiary Apparatus with Unlawful Intent, a felony. He could now face up to five years in prison, a five thousand dollar fine or both. 23 year old Henderson remains in custody in lieu of a $15,000 cash or surety bond. A preliminary hearing date of August 29th has been set. No one was injured during the incident.
