Potawatomi Casino Parking Garage Is Site of Explosion
A man was arrested after allegedly setting off explosions on Sunday in the parking garage at Milwaukee, Wis.’s Potawatomi Hotel & Casino.
Dennis Beard, 48, of New Berlin, Wis., was charged with two counts of possession of improvised explosives, according to Wisconsin TV station WITI.
The explosive devices were bottles in which were muriatic acid, the report said.
Following the explosions, police said they found in the garage remains from plastic bottles and burned aluminum foil.
A check of casino surveillance video revealed a man leaving two bottles in the garage. One bottle exploded. A couple of minutes later, a second bottle smoked but didn’t explode, the report said.
Beard went into the casino after leaving the garage. He provided casino staff with an ID to get a player’s card, according to WITI.
Police found clothing in Beard’s residence that matched the clothes on the man seen on the surveillance video. There was also a bottle of muriatic acid in the residence.
Beard later told investigators he learned how to create an explosion from a YouTube video. One of the bottles he used originally contained protein milk and the other originally contained Mountain Dew.
Dennis Beard further told police that “his actions were stupid,” according to WITI.
