STAFFORD, Va. – A man accused of indecent exposure over the summer is wanted on charges of detonating pipe bombs at the homes of two investigators in the case and his ex-girlfriend this week, authorities said Wednesday.

The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office said at a news conference that they’re searching for 25-year-old Laurence Alan Stewart II. He is wanted on charges including attempted capital murder of a law enforcement officer, manufacture or possession of a weapon of terror and arson.

Authorities believe Stewart is armed and may have explosives.

“This man is a serious danger and threat to society,” Stafford County Sheriff Charles E. Jett said.

No one was injured early Tuesday from the explosions in Stafford County and Fredericksburg.
