In Fairfax, Virginia, George Mason University police officers raided a dorm room in Jefferson Hall last week after responding to a report that flames were shooting out of the window.
Court documents state when police confronted the residents in the room, they found a leafy green substance. When they returned with a search warrant, police discovered a tool box containing match books, shaved match heads, a mortar and pedestal, lighter fluid, hand sanitizer candles and a PVC pipe.
According to the bomb squad, the materials were being used to make explosive materials.
Two of the people were arrested on alcohol and drug-related charges. One suspect was charged with possessing bomb-making materials.
All three of the people arrested were students at the university, but the school is not releasing their identities.
