JACKSON, Tenn. — Authorities in Tennessee say they have arrested a man who provided undercover agents with a pipe bomb.

According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, an investigation by state, federal and local authorities led to the arrest of 40-year-old Jonathan Edward White on Friday.

TBI says the Hardin County man had made a series of threats on social media and agents determined he might have explosives.

TBI says White met with undercover agents Friday evening and gave them the pipe bomb, which the Tennessee Highway Patrol then rendered safe.

The agency says White was arrested without incident and faces one count of possession of a prohibited weapon. He was booked into Hardin County Jail on a $500,000 bond.

It was not immediately clear whether White has a lawyer.

I don't understand.
Did he know they were undercover cops?

I'd almost bet two bits that he thought he'd found a customer.

They did say pipe bomb right? A piece of pipe, 2 end caps, propellent and a way to detonate the thing. If you can microwave a hotdog, you can make a pipe bomb. This guy must think he's a genius, double knot spy and shit. I bet those cops giggled through the whole investigation!

I found an insurance agent in Tennessee with the same name and approximate age who has had his insurance license suspended more than once for being in arrears on his child support payments. I don't know if it's the same guy, though.

It'll be interesting to see what develops on this one.

The best part of him got tossed out in the delivery room.
