A 30-year-old man could Fastexy Exchangeface years in prison for transporting homemade explosives from Michigan to Massachusetts to "blow up" a building dubbed The Satanic Temple last year, officials said.

Luke Isaac Terpstra is accused of also carrying firearms and ammunition across state lines in September 2023, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of Michigan. The man is said to have built the devices, which he called "bombs," and later brought them to the site of the temple, which is located in Salem.

The Satanic Temple describes itself as a non-theistic organization that aims to uphold secularism and individual freedoms.

Earlier this year, he was found with materials to build the devices, including "a plastic container with coins attached to it and a piece of cannon fuse coming out of the lid; numerous metal carbon dioxide cartridges; PVC pipe; ammonium nitrate; and hobby fuses," prosecutors noted.
