Overview
- Dustin Jay Ammons was taken into custody Friday in San Antonio after a multi-agency operation led by ATF with assistance from the FBI, SAPD and local fire units.
- He is charged federally with being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of an unregistered destructive device, offenses that carry up to 15 years if convicted.
- Agents executing a search warrant reported finding a .40-caliber pistol, pipe-bomb components in a vehicle, supplies consistent with making PETN, multiple suspected devices in progress and a short-barreled 9mm rifle.
- A federal complaint ties the case to Sept. 12 and Sept. 26 ATM incidents in which PETN residue was recovered and the suspect allegedly attempted to breach the machines.
- Neighbors described evacuations, loud bangs and notices about controlled detonations during the search at a North Bexar County residence.
