SAN ANTONIO — Federal agents executed a search warrant Friday morning on the far north side, the result of an investigation into homemade explosives and pipe bombs placed at San Antonio banks months ago, according to officials.

Dustin Jay Ammons, 43, was taken into custody and faces charges of felon in possession of a firearm and possession of an unregistered destructive device, according to a Department of Justice press release. Two guns, components of a pipe bomb and "multiple suspected destructive devices in various stages of manufacture" were allegedly found at Ammons' Canyon Ranch residence.

Officials say Ammons' car matches the suspect vehicle from incidents on Sept. 12 and Sept. 26 when someone placed pipe bombs at external ATMs, in attempt to breach them.
