A West Chester, Pennsylvania, was allegedly arrested near Saturday's “King No” protests and was allegedly found possessing seven pipe bombs at his home, police said.
Kevin Krebs, 31, was arrested Saturday after the public told police a man with a weapon was walking near a large rally in Chester County, one of several communities across the country, protesting against the president Donald Trump.
When officials identified the suspect, they stopped to ask him, and then allegedly found him possessing a gun without a hidden carrying permit.
FOX 29's court documents obtained in Philadelphia say Krebs has a full Sig Sauer pistol, knives and ammunition.

The radio reported that law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Krebs' home on Monday, where he lived with his brother.
Detectives allegedly found a tube bomb during the search, forcing authorities to leave their homes and convened other resources including the FBI, alcohol, tobacco, guns, guns and explosives (ATF), local law enforcement agencies, firefighters and EMS, and Montgomery County bomb bombs.

The bomb squad reportedly used robots to deal with pipe bombs, and once the house was completely searched, a total of seven pipe bombs were reportedly found.
Investigators also found AR-15s, long guns, ski masks, military helmets and military gloves in Krebs' vehicle, which was only a few blocks from the protests on Saturday.
