Three people are arrested near Joshua Tree after 'improvised military-grade device' and other explosives are found in their possession, authorities say.
Unable to move forward on the matter, state commissioners voted unanimously to reopen discussion at its meeting in November.
Deputies said they also determined the two men were prohibited from owning or possessing firearms, but the news release did not say for what reason. The Sheriff’s Department did not immediately respond to questions about this detail or fulfill a request for the incident report. But upon a search of the vehicle, deputies found “live ammunition, black gun powder and an improvised military-grade explosive device,” the release said.
Deputies later obtained a search warrant to search the men’s property, which they described as a “remote sovereign citizen compound” in Johnson Valley, an area about 30 miles north of Yucca Valley, the release said. There, deputies found Venus Mooney, 54, as well additional military-grade explosives, more ammunition and firearms.The Sheriff’s Bomb and Arson Division was called to safely dispose of the explosives, the release said.
Both Russells and Mooney were arrested and booked at the Morongo Basin Jail on charges of possession of an explosive device and possession of a controlled substance while armed, the release said.
