"This type of explosive device is designed to do one thing-kill or injure people. Shrapnel is designed to increase the lethality of the device; therefore, it can be safely assumed that their intent was malicious. However, this device will never hurt anyone due to the outstanding policework by Officer Tyler Groat, Officer Rasmussen, and Officer Saltsman," police said in a social media post .

The two men were arrested for possession of an explosive device, possession of dangerous drugs and possession of cocaine.
