ALGOMA, WI -- A 37-year-old Kewaunee County man is in custody tonight, after a search warrant for his property uncovered explosives.
And neighbors say it isn't the first time the property has been visited by police.
The Kewaunee County Sheriff's Department says they executed the search warrant just before 8:45 this morning, in the Town of Ahnapee, in search of evidence of possession of explosives.
In a written statement, Sheriff Matt Joski says deputies found "five specific explosive items" in the search.
Both Brown and Door County Deputies aided in the search, along with the Brown-Outagamie County Bomb Squad.
Richard Piesler, of Casco, was driving by the scene along State Highway 54 this morning.
"I had to find out what was going on," says Piesler, "when do you see a bomb squad in Algoma? Never!"
He says he watched it all unfold from across the street, "right straight across there, yep," points Piesler.
Like others, Piesler watched from Inside B's Light House Inn, just across Highway 54 from the 11 acre property.
"And then I watched it through the back window, and I see people go from one garage to the outside," explains Piesler.
