Police have made an arrest after finding more than a dozen explosives scattered around the city of Brevard on Sunday.

Terry Lee Barham, 64, of Brevard, was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon and taken to the Transylvania County Jail, where he was charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction, transportation of a weapon of mass destruction, manufacturing a weapon of mass destruction, malicious damage to a government building, attempted malicious damage to a government building, attempted malicious damage to a church, attempted malicious damage to an occupied building and three counts of terrorism.

Officers searching the area found what appeared to be multiple devices at the Transylvania County Community Services Building. It was determined that all the additional devices had been detonated with superficial damage, authorities said in a news release. Another device was found at the American Legion Lodge. It had also detonated and left little damage.

Police said Barham's residence and the three places where the explosive devices were found were all within a couple blocks of each other in downtown Brevard.

Nothing as of this writing.
