Authorities
investigating the shooting of a North Carolina State Highway Patrol
trooper last week found bomb-making materials, including PVC piping,
nails and instructions on how to make bombs, in the Durham apartment of
Mikel Edward Brady, who is charged in the case.
The Feb. 20 search warrant shows
investigators seized PVC pipe, nails and other items from the of
apartment of Mikel Edward Brady, of 800 White Pine Drive, Apt. 1205.
Police found in an earlier search of the home, according to the warrant, a digital camera with "clear instructions marked how to make bombs," as well as a large map of Durham on the bedroom wall with locations of police, fire and EMS stations marked.
After reviewing the photos with the FBI, they returned to the apartment specifically to look for materials used for bombs.
They also seized, according to the warrant, salt, a toolbox, a scale, and items identified only as a "small black metal tube," "metal parts with hole drilled in center" and "reactive targets."
Brady, 23, is in the Durham County jail under an $8 million bond for the Feb. 18 shooting of state trooper Michael L. Potts during a traffic stop on U.S. Highway 70 in Durham.
Authorities say Brady shot Potts from the driver's seat at an "extraordinarily close" range. Potts was hit in both of his hands, right shoulder and the right side of his face.
Brady fled the scene but was arrested the following morning at a Raleigh apartment complex.
His pregnant girlfriend, Lindsey Smith, 21, was arrested Feb. 20 on charges of accessory after the fact to assault with a deadly weapon and harboring a fugitive. She is in jail under a $1.5 million bond.
The two recently moved to Durham from Vermont, where Brady had served 33 months in prison on numerous charges stemming from several burglaries and a home invasion.
Potts was released from a local hospital on Thursday and is recovering at home.
