A federal magistrate ruled Friday that a man accused of stealing hundreds of pounds of explosives and detonators from a site near Albuquerque will be returned to New Mexico to face charges.
Leslie Brown, 44, of Ignacio, Colo.; his brother, David Brown, 49; and Eric Armstrong, 32, are accused of breaking into locked containers on an engineering company’s storage site.
Leslie Brown, who has lived near the southwestern Colorado town all his life, cannot be released from custody unless a federal judge in New Mexico allows it and he has a place to live, U.S. Magistrate Boyd Boland said during a brief hearing.
Brown’s preliminary hearing will be in New Mexico.
