7th December 2023
The bomb squad was called to a Crawford County residence while deputies were serving an arrest warrant on Thursday.
Deputies came to a house on the 200 block of Walter Street in the village of Tiro around 7 p.m. on Thursday to serve a warrant on John Kent for failure to appear on a domestic violence charge.
At first, Kent had refused to open the door and spoke to officers through a window, and when he was told deputies were going to enter the residence, he held a handgun to his head.
Deputies ordered Kent to put the gun down for several minutes until he went back to the door. Deputies entered the house, and Kent fought with them until he was tased and taken into custody.
After getting a search warrant, deputies went inside to search the house for the gun. Inside, deputies found a homemade explosive with a fuse. The bomb squad from the Ashland County Sheriff's Office was called to safely remove the explosive. Afterward, deputies went back inside and recovered the gun.
Kent is being held in the Crawford County Justice Center on his warrant. Additional charges will be forwarded to the Crawford County Prosecutor’s Office for consideration.
