Authorities say a Thurmont man has been charged in a pipe bomb explosion that damaged a local police department vehicle.

Officials said Saturday that 22-year-old Kyle Rutger Mueller is charged with four counts of possession of a destructive device, two counts of malicious destruction of property and one count of reckless endangerment.

He was being held on $300,000 bond with a preliminary hearing scheduled for Sept. 1, according to online court records.

Officials say the pipe bomb exploded about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, damaging a marked police SUV parked in front of an officer's home on Clark Avenue.
