Overview
- Bryan Christopher Lee Chambers, 23, was arrested Wednesday around 5:30 a.m. near Arizona Highway 95 and Oatman Road after prison investigators flagged recorded calls about a bomb.
- Police say he had cocaine at the time of the arrest and was booked into the Mohave County Jail on counts of making terrorist threats, possessing dangerous drugs, and drug paraphernalia.
- A bomb squad and K-9 units later searched his Church Street home and reported finding an explosive device, materials used to make explosives, and additional cocaine.
- Investigators cite prison phone transcripts that discuss hiding guns and drugs before an inmate’s release and include a reference by Chambers to the Laughlin Bridge that connects Arizona and Nevada.
- Authorities report no attack or damage and say the case now moves toward prosecutor review and forensic testing of the seized device and materials.
