Man Arrested for Homemade Explosive Device | Indianapolis News

A 44-year-old Indianapolis man, Jay Charles Stinson Jr., faces a Level Five Felony charge after police found a homemade explosive device disguised as a prescription pill bottle during a search warrant. The device, packed with BBs and designed to scatter shrapnel, was discovered on Finley Avenue alongside drugs and paraphernalia. Stinson, who overheard officers discussing the item, voluntarily confessed it was a firework given to him — but that didn’t save him. With a lengthy criminal history dating back to 2016, he appeared in court with a $16,000 cash bond, and his jury trial is set for September 23rd.
