CLOVIS, Calif. (FOX26) — A man was arrested in one of the largest illegal firework busts in Clovis on Thursday.
Officers were called to a home in Old Town Clovis to dispose of some fireworks.
However, an investigation by the officers led to the suspicion of fireworks being stored and sold out of the home.

Some of the fireworks were homemade and had an estimated street value of $50,000.
Police say they arrested 28-year-old Nickolas Cropper on several charges, including felony child endangerment, and charges related to the possession, transportation, and sale of illegal fireworks.
