Putnam County man held without bond after attempting to make a bomb

A Putnam County man is being held without bond after officials confirmed he was attempting to make a bomb.

On August 7, Levi Flatt was seen on video stating “Hey ATF, let me know if this legal. Uh, A pound of Tannerite, a pipe bomb, and a wine bottle full of diesel.”

Detectives contacted ATF who were able to confirm the attempt at making a bomb and gathered enough probable cause to write and present a search warrant.

Before executing the warrant, two agents observed Flatt enter a white Chevy work van. The van went into the parking lot of Putnam County Highway Department, as well as a Walmart shopping center parking lot where he purchased a propane tank.
