SANTA ANA – A husband faces up to 15 years and four months in prison after being convicted Tuesday of bomb and weapons charges in a case in which he threatened his wife, police officers and a judge, county prosecutors said.

Ronald Gary Turner, 45, of Costa Mesa, was convicted of 10 felonies, including two counts of stalking, three counts of possession of a destructive device with the intent to injure and one count of possession of a homemade deadly weapon, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office. snip

Deputies found handcuffs, pepper spray, throwing knives, and a stolen and loaded 9 mm firearm in his car, prosecutors said.

Authorities also searched his home – which Turner shared with two children unrelated with him.

Deputies discovered three homemade bombs with two timers, two homemade guns, other bomb making materials, tactical equipment, a bullet proof vest, and listening devices.

The bombs were later safely detonated.
