In the same place, where the officers found the hand-painted ISIS flags, there were several explosive devices made by hand with fireworks attached with staples, pins and tacks to create shrapnel if detonated.

This week the young man had his hearing in US District Court in Bangor, where he pleaded not guilty to the charge of possession of unregistered devices.
Xavier Pelkey would face a penalty of up to years in prison if he is found guilty. The defendant is still behind bars without bail.
