Update: BPD charged Fulton with unlawful possession of explosives.
The Brandon Police Department issued the following statement.
On April 21st, 2018, a Brandon resident made contact with the Brandon Police Department Dispatch at 13:23 about a suspicious device located at a neighbor’s home. The caller believed that the neighbor possessed an improvised explosive device (IED) utilizing a propane bottle.
After arriving on scene, Brandon Police confirmed the potential that an IED existed and has evacuated the residents around the 100 block of Blackbridge Drive. Nathaniel Ray Fulton was taken into custody who admitted on scene to building the device. He claimed it was a fake.
Brandon Police reached out to the Jackson Police Department who has dispatched their EOD team. EOD technicians were able to determine the device was a very convincing fake and deemed the scene safe.
Brandon Police was assisted by Jackson Police Department Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team and the Rankin County Sheriffs Department, and the ATF in this matter.
Fulton is being held on a $250,000.00 bond.

$250,000 bond? ffs.
Yeah, what’s the charge? This release leaves out some very basic details
12:00 Brandon, like most of the flourishing suburbs, takes crap like this seriously. If you want to terrify your neighbors by putting a realistic-looking fake bomb on a neighbor's porch, and expect to get sprung and have a judge write a poem about you, you know the jurisdiction where you need to commit your crime.
Have you forgotten the deaths in Austin about two months ago from bombs left on porches? Kudos to Brandon's PD.
He should have made the fake device look like a clock, then he would have been invited to the White House.

I think you misread the post. The defendant did not place the device on his neighbor's porch. The neighbor saw the device on defendant's property.
Ordnance, not ordinance, BPD.
Them folks from Rankin County sure do like to overreact and be drama queens. No doubt the Barney Fife LEOs in that area put on all of their tactical combat gear and rushed to the scene with lights flashing and sirens blazing
When this guy get out from underneath this charge he will still have to live next to his neighbor who turned him in. The neighbor should have gotten a disposable cell phone and called the police saying they were driving by this property & spotted a bomb on the porch.
1:18 is the champion of the internet for today, well played Tick Tock.
I read the media reports on this and have yet to figure out what he could have been charged with.
How much will Jackson charge Brandon for the use of their EOD team? Maybe Brandon should fund their own EOD team, since they think everything run by Jackson is incompetent (ie, the airport).
@ 7:14
Please, Jackson airport is one of the most efficient airports I've ever used. No where else in America can you get through security so easily and safely. The airport is 10/10 in my book -- never once had a serious issue.
Wonder how long it will be before the suspect pens and publishes his memoirs "Aint Done Yet: The story of how my life radically changed due to an inconsiderate neighbor cooking burgers that ran out of propane"?
"Them folks from Rankin County sure do like to overreact and be drama queens. "
Unlike you they remember the deaths two months ago in Austin, TX when some savage started leaving bombs on porches and sidewalks.
Good thing the guy wasn't wearing a "pro-2nd amendment" shirt
BPD might have called Homeland Security thinking they had a terrorist
The fact that they found a Trump pamphlet and Bible in his living room explains the CNN remote-trucks at several Pearl motels and one Waffle House.
Shouldn’t the charges be unlawful possession of fake explosives? If what he had were explosives, every trailer in stankin Rankin is guilty. Yes, Bubba, I said it.
10:15 - Yeah, you said it. However, there is no law on the books regarding 'fake explosives'. Did you make that shit up?
Disturbing the peace. All those sirens and S.W.A.T. vehicles make a lot of noise.
Sorry, but I am suspicious of the IED...last year there was a suicide of a political candidate in Meridian...the local new reported a flame thrower was found at his home...the video showed a $19.95 4' pipe that connects to a propane bottle used to burn brush with...this thrower would propel a flame about 4 inches.

Are you the guy that induced me to go out to Lake Hilo in search for a deal on lake front property?
