Man Arrested In Connection With Explosive Device

A Terre Haute man has been arrested in connection to homemade explosive devices found last week at a city park.

Anthony Tillotson, 28, is being preliminarily charged with creating a destructive device.

Police arrested him after conducting a search warrant Monday afternoon at a home located across from Collett Park, where the devices were found.

After a park worker discovered the devices, the Indiana State Police were called in to disable the devices. At the time, police said they were "unsophisticated explosives."

Police also used K-9 units to search the area for additional threats, but found none.
