A Lincoln man is facing a variety of charges after police say he detonated fireworks outside a house near 23rd and B Street Tuesday morning. Captain Todd Kocian says a 46-year-old woman called police around 10:30 a.m. and reported hearing a loud bang just outside of her front door.
She said 52-year-old Travis Dillion was responsible. Kocian says the two had been involved in a previous relationship. When officers arrived Dillon was gone and they found debris on the sidewalk, which had been discolored.
Investigators were able to track Dillon down at his home at the Lodge Apartments near 40th and Nebraska Parkway. Officers found a 6-inch homepage explosive device in his vehicle. Dillon was arrested for using explosives to commit a felony, terroristic threats and possession of a destructive device.
