Kevin Hornbuckle,
49, faces possession and manufacturing of a destructive device
charges after two bombs were found on the course at the Foxtail
Golf Club in Rohnert Park, California, about 50 miles (80 km)
north of San Francisco, the Rohnert Park Department of Public
Safety said in a statement.
Club employees on Saturday found one of the explosive devices on
the 18th hole fairway and took it to the facility's maintenance
yard. The golf club was evacuated from the facility before
police destroyed the bomb, authorities said.
Authorities said that Hornbuckle told them that the device was
an “acid-bomb.”
Club employees told police they also found remnants of a second
bomb which appeared to have been detonated at the golf course on
Friday night, authorities said.
