ANKENY, Iowa—An Iowa man accused of making and placing several homemade bombs in suburban Des Moines—including one that was found by an 8-year-old girl—pleaded guilty to federal weapons charges.
Chad Williams, 47, of Johnston, pleaded guilty Thursday to possessing a firearm as an unlawful drug user and making a destructive device, the Des Moines Register reported.
