Georgia Woman Liked to "Blow Stuff Up"

(Gainesville, Georgia) A 24-year-old local woman, Celia Savage, has pleaded guilty to federal firearms charges resulting after agents raided her home last year and found explosives.

Federal agents raided Savage’s home in May 2012. They said they found two pipe bombs and a number of guns, as well as illegal drug paraphernalia and suspected drugs.

It is required by federal law to register such explosives with the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.

She was indicted on June 26, 2012, on one count of making two unregistered pipe bombs, one count of possessing two unregistered pipe bombs, and one count of being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm.

In her interview with agents shortly after the raid, U.S. Assistant District Attorney William McKinnon said that Savage had admitted to making the pipe bombs and said it was a “hobby of hers” and that she liked to “blow stuff up.”

Sentencing awaits scheduling.
