Timothy DiPaolo, 26, was interviewing for a job at the sheriff's department when he admitted that he had made pipe bombs and exploded them in the past, according to Chief Deputy Richard Gagliano. After further questioning, DiPaolo told police he had recently made another bomb, but had not exploded it. He later brought the bomb to the sheriff's office to be dismantled and was taken into custody.

Gagliano said members of the State Police Explosive Disposal Unit disarmed the device, which could have been detonated.

DiPaolo was charged with criminal use of explosives, a Class C felony. He is being held at Cumberland County Jail on bail of $5,000 cash or $25,000 property. DiPaolo faces up to five years in prison, though Gagliano said the bombs were not exploded around other people.


Who knew this was against the law?
