Arraignment In Explosives Seizure

By Newsradio 88 Staff

Arraignment today for the Long Island man arrested after police found two tons of chemicals and explosives from his home... enough to level the neighborhood.

Suffolk County District Attorney James Catterson says 33-year-old Thomas Smith of Ridge was using the materials to make fireworks. Smith's home may have to be condemned because of the chemical residue.
