Charles A. Dreyling Jr., 24, who is free on $10,000 bail, remains a student at the university, OU spokeswoman Catherine Bishop said Tuesday. He is one semester away from completing an aviation management degree, his lawyer Kent Eldridge said.
Former Oklahoma City Mayor Kirk Humphreys, who is Dreyling's landlord and his longtime friend, said Dreyling had created a ``glorified firecracker'' and then forgotten that it was in his luggage.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security documents obtained by The Norman Transcript newspaper indicate federal agents who searched Dreyling's residence
found gunpowder, carbon dioxide cartridges and wires as well as a computer with a video of detonation of a device similar to the one transported into the airport. A preliminary hearing for Dreyling is scheduled for Aug. 31.
