Overview
- Travis Peachey, 51, was injured when a homemade pipe bomb exploded in his shed Saturday night in Salisbury Township, Lancaster County.
- Troopers say he made the device from a PVC pipe filled with about six ounces of black powder and wired it to a motorcycle switch.
- He first set the bomb on a woodpile to entertain expected guests, then tried to disarm it in the shed after plans fell through, dropped it, and it detonated.
- His wife and two children were home but unhurt, and hospital staff removed shrapnel from his head that investigators logged as evidence.
- State police arrested him the same day and charged him with multiple felonies, including endangering children and risking catastrophe, and he remains in Lancaster County Prison on $500,000 bail.
