Detroit Man Indicted After Buying Arms From Undercover Agent

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Aug 12, 2016, 5:12 PM ET

A Detroit man accused of amassing weapons and buying explosives from an undercover agent has been indicted by a federal grand jury.

Sebastian Gregerson was arrested about two weeks ago and held on a criminal complaint, which is a temporary charge. The indictment was filed Thursday.

The 29-year-old is charged with possessing an unregistered destructive device and receiving explosive materials without a permit. Prosecutors have described him as dangerous, but defense attorney David Tholen says he's simply a survivalist.
