Bucks County Man Had Weapons Of Mass Destruction: Police

WARMINSTER, PA — A Bucks County man was arrested Thursday on charges of manufacturing weapons of mass destruction, the Warminster Township Police Department has announced. David Jasiulewicz, 27, of Jacksonville Road in Warminster was found with an improvised explosive device and chemicals capable of making "flash powder," Warminster Police said.

The investigation into Jasiulewicz began on May 17, when officers responded to call for a domestic assault. The caller reported that they were being assaulted by Jasiulewicz, who, while armed with a knife, was threatening to "blow things up."

Jasiulewicz was taken into custody for that alleged assault without incident, police said. However, during the arrest, officers located bottles of chemicals in his possession. Those chemicals, according to police, were found to be capable of making flash powder. Police also located an improvised explosive device in his car.

The improvised explosive device was constructed using gun powder with an electric detonator, police said. The device has been examined and "made safe" by members of the Philadelphia Bomb Squad and an FBI bomb technician, police said.

Jasiulewicz was charged with possession/manufacture of weapons of mass destruction, recklessly endangering another person, and the related assault charges.

He was arraigned and bail was set at $50,000.
