Working on the leads, they located online ads listing various illegal fireworks for sale as described in the tips. Detectives went to the address where they observed banners indicating fireworks for sale and contacted the suspect, Chris Kleve. Kleve admitted that he was in possession and selling illegal fireworks out of his garage. A search warrant was served on the house and an entire pickup truck bed of fireworks was seized from the home.
When Kleve was questioned about the fireworks, he said he really loved fireworks and he needed the money to pay veterinary bills. He stated that he would drive to surrounding states to pick up the items and then return to Arizona to sell them.
Kleve was arrested and booked for several charges related to the possession, sale and storage of illegal fireworks.
