DATELINE - Zephyrhills FL

The police had their eyes on Florida Man James John Hall for some time.

When the authorities finally picked him up, it was part of a joint operation between Tampa detectives and an FBI task force.

Hall had originally tried to sell an undercover cop marijuana. But what REALLY caught the attention of the authorities was when Hall said that, oh by the way, if you're interested in buying a bomb, I have one I can sell you for around $800.

That's when the good folks at Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (FTA) got involved.

Eight homemade devices and a a Glock pistol later, they have their Florida Man!
