OGDEN -- Ogden Police looking for drugs found weapons, too -- and now the alleged owner of the items is facing multiple charges.

The Standard-Examiner reports that Paul Russell Cornwell, 29, was arrested March 17 after police got a warrant to search his home on the 1100 block of 12th Street.

The warrant was obtained after two months of surveillance on the house, where they believed Cornwell was dealing drugs.

Inside they found methamphetamine and tools for making meth, in addition to several handguns and three small explosive devices.

Cornwell is now charged with six felonies, including possession of an incendiary device, possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person and possession or use of a controlled substance. He is also charged with a misdemeanor count of use or possession of drug paraphernalia.

Investigators hope to determine the source of the explosives as the investigation continues.
