FORT WORTH, Texas -- Two men have pleaded guilty after a rocket launcher, grenades and other munitions are found sitting on a trash can at a Duncanville gas station.
Back in November, 2004, the discovery of the rocket launcher and explosives sent police in Duncanville into a frenzy.
State and federal investigators responded to the scene where, along with the rocket launcher, officials found several grenades and Vietnam-era explosives inside a bag on top of a trash can.
It didn't take long for officials to track down the bag's owner -- an American Airlines luggage tag with Eric Duane McNairy's home address was attached to the bag.
Investigators searched McNairy's home and found a matching bag. McNairy initially said he knew nothing of the other bag -- but later confessed to federal agents that the explosives belonged to his brother, who was serving time in prison on a drug charge.
After holding on to the explosives for several years, McNairy said he contacted Charles Andrew Brunston, a former associate of his brother's, about taking ownership of the explosives.
McNairy, 41, pleded guilty to one count of distribution of explosive material to a convicted felon. McNairy's partner, Charles Andrew Brunston, 42, pled guilty in September to one count of receipt and possession of explosive material by a convicted felon.
Both men will be sentenced early next year and could each face 10 years in prison along with a $250,000 fine.
