Overview
- Kevin Krebs, 32, entered the guilty plea in federal court before U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Costello after prosecutors charged him by information earlier this month.
- He was first stopped on June 14 near a West Chester 'No Kings' protest carrying a loaded Sig Sauer handgun without a concealed carry permit, with an AR-15 rifle in his nearby car.
- A June 16 search of his Malvern residence uncovered 13 pipe bombs, some packed with nails and screws, along with detonator components, tactical vests, and bullet-resistant armor.
- Investigators also reported seizing loaded magazines, an M9 bayonet, pepper spray, night-vision goggles, a gas mask, and an LED strobe mounted on his vehicle.
- The case was investigated by the Chester County District Attorney’s Office, West Chester Police, and FBI units with bomb squad support, after a federal complaint led to his arrest in October.
