ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — A man said he was trying to create homemade fireworks after police found bomb-making materials in an Englewood garage on Thursday, according to an arrest affidavit.
The Kia was registered to a person who lived in Centennial. Police later tried to get in contact with that individual and while they were unable to connect with them, they learned the person had been in rehabilitation for two days. A family member of the vehicle owner picked up the car. Police believe the owner and Gessing knew each other and don't believe the car was stolen, according to the affidavit.
When firefighters arrived, they smelled sulfur, which is consistent with an explosive. It appeared to be coming from the garage area. They found what appeared to be bomb-making materials in the garage in plain view, according to the affidavit.
