MAN CHARGED WITH MAKING, POSSESSING DESTRUCTIVE DEVICES

Garrett County resident Christopher Beitzel has been charged with several felonies, after investigators found two improvised explosive devices at his home late last week. Homeowners in the 2100-block of Aiken Road in Accident found an “M-80” on their property and it was tested for fingerprints, which led to Beitzel. A search warrant was conducted at his home in the 3200-block of Accident-Bittinger Road, where other similar devices were found. He was charged and was remanded to the Garrett County Detention Center, where he is being held without bond.
