PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – A Malvern man has pleaded guilty in a case involving the discovery of multiple explosive devices inside his Chester County home.
In federal court today, 32-year-old Kevin Krebs entered a plea of guilty to possession of an unregistered firearm or destructive device.
On June 14, 2025, Krebs was arrested by the West Chester Police Department for carrying a firearm without a license at a “No Kings” rally.
Two days later, Chester County Detectives executed a search warrant at Krebs’s residence and discovered what appeared to be a pipe bomb and related materials inside a garage attached to the premises.
Bomb technicians responded, examined the device, and determined that it contained nails and screws, which are frequently placed inside Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) to serve as shrapnel. As the search continued, investigators located multiple additional IEDs, as well as other explosive materials and related components.
Krebs is scheduled to be sentenced March 31, 2026 and faces a maximum possible term of 10 years’ imprisonment, three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.
