All is quiet again on Courtland Avenue in Berea two days after investigators from three different agencies, including ATF, raided the home where Warren Adams lives with his mother.
Some of Adams’ friends were worried about dozens of grenades, pipe bombs, even alleged threats to rob a bank, so they contacted federal authorities.
“You get a knock at the door and a guy in an FBI jacket says ‘do not leave your house until we tell you it’s OK,’ you wonder what’s happening,” said neighbor Neil Colmer.

LEX 18 obtained federal documents that helped fill in the blanks for Neil Colmer, who lives across the street from Adams.
The complaint says that two confidential sources had shared text messages Adams allegedly sent to family members.
Texts, officials say claim Adams had over 20 lbs of explosives and had made over 60 pipe bombs, a total of 90 grenades and threats that the 45-year-old was going to rob a federal bank.
“Pipe bombs are notoriously unstable things anyway, and he had how many they said? 90?! 90 grenades. Very scary,” Colmer said.
When the feds searched the property Tuesday, they found 7 suspected destructive devices, a roll of fuse, a military style camo vest and four explosive devices made out of glass bottles, a light bulb and a lighter.
Colmer says he had no idea the dangerous materials were so close to him.
“I would’ve called if I would’ve known anything like that,” he said.
