Remember that house in Richmond that ATF raided a couple of weeks ago? More details

At a community meeting Tuesday night, Henrico police revealed that the owner of 7200 West Durwood Crescent has been charged with nine counts of manufacturing or possessing an explosive device, six counts of illegal fireworks, possession with intent to distribute, setting booby traps and maintaining a fortified drug house.

A Tuckahoe neighborhood had a community meeting Wednesday night to discuss the incident at the home which took place just a few weeks ago. Two people were arrested and neighborhood homes were evacuated after officials found explosive materials at the Durwood Crescent house.

The community meeting shed light on lingering questions that the neighborhood had following the incident. According to Henrico Police, nobody at the meeting was a part of the investigative team, as the investigation is ongoing.

The officer said the man arrested on March 16 was 52-year-old Henrico resident Michael Hardy. He is being held without bond after officials seized over 100 items –which police said were mostly drugs, firearms and bomb-making materials– from his home. A drug dog and robots were used during the search of the property.

Perfect in and out suburban setting.

Damn that’s a lot of stuff.
The young woman is being held out of state.

We had a house in our old neighborhood (very near 64) that had a house in which I always figured something was going on. They moved in and suddenly lots of vehicles and lots of bikes.

every single day during my first travel assignment in Richmond. It's just off Parham Rd. When I moved to Richmond I lived on the other side of Parham and up a couple of miles.

A friend texted me that there were a lot of calls to the house (47) and barely clothed females were seen 14 times - over 5 years. The young lady may have been moved to a decompress/treatment facility.
