'Person of Interest' in Explosion is 85-Year-Old Neighbor: Reports

Tarpon Springs police say an 85-year-old neighbor is a “person of interest” in what appears to be a deliberate explosion at a Stonefence Way home early Monday morning.

Neighbor William Vincent Metz is being held on an unrelated gun charge, but is considered a person of interest in the case, according to Tarpon Springs police.

Officers tell WFLA that the explosion blew out the windows of the home at 1016 Stonefence Way. Two adults and a 2-year-old child were inside the home at the time. No one was hurt.

There was damage to the backyard, including some concrete, according to ABCActionNews.com.

WTSP has pictures and video from the scene.

Metz has been charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. He is being held at the Pinellas County Jail.
