Army Soldier Arrested with 100 Lbs. C-4 Explosives

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - An Army Special Forces soldier has been arrested following the discovery of about 100 pounds of explosives at his Tennessee home.

Federal and military officials searched his home early Monday morning after a pair of hunters found the C-4, a plastic explosive, in a field outside Clarksville. The house is near the Fort Campbell, Ky., Army post where the soldier is based.

Maj. April Olsen, a spokeswoman for Army Special Forces at Fort Campbell, said the soldier, who was not identified, is currently being held in the county jail.

Ted Denny, spokesman for the Montgomery County sheriff, said the explosives found late Sunday evening appeared to be military ordnance.
