Evidently the teen set off the explosive device after learning how to make it on YouTube. A second device was detonated by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Tennessee Highway Patrol. No one was injured in the explosion.

Wooten will face a single charge of “Possession of Explosive Components.”
