A man arrested Thursday night in Colorado Springs on suspicion of unlawful possession and use of explosive devices has been identified as 57-year-old Edward Kiley.
Police arrested Kiley after neighbors reported hearing several loud explosions coming from a house Thursday night. Kiley is being held on $250,000 bail.
About eight homes were evacuated Friday morning as about 50 law enforcement officials, including a bomb squad and federal Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive agents, cleared explosives from the house on the northwest corner of Vermijo Avenue and Prospect Street.
As of 4 p.m. Friday, the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement that law enforcement has been able to remove numerous improvised explosive devices, but still has more work to complete.
