A West, Texas, paramedic was arrested Friday morning and charged with possession of a destructive device, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Bryce Reed, 31, was arrested around 2 a.m. on Friday. Authorities have not said whether the arrest is related to the April 17 explosion in West that killed 15 people and injured around 200 others.

According to News 92 FM in Houston, Reed was among the first people on the scene of the fire and explosion in West last month. In the aftermath of the explosion, Reed spoke to several media outlets about his experience on the scene of the tragedy.

1. The question is what kind of "explosive device"?

There can be all sorts of things called that. A box of flares could be considered that.
I'd like a little more information than what the link provides.

3. True.

That's all that's out there when I posted. I don't think he would be arrested over a box of flares though.

2. Oh for Chrissake!

Sounds like this is going to be a psycho medic or....a fix for the fertilizer company. Maybe this will excuse them of some liability if this medic set the explosion.

4. Very interesting.....altho his being at scene makes sense

since he was paramedic and the firemen were fighting a fire at the plant before the explosion.
curious about the "destructive device" tho...
