Ryan D. Webster, 23, of the 100 block of Margaux Court, near St. Charles, admitted that he possessed a variety of explosives stolen from the St. Charles County Law Enforcement Training Center, 1835 South Highway 94, sometime between June 3 and 12, 2007. He pleaded guilty of unlawful possession of a silencer and possession of stolen C-4 plastic explosives and other materials. Sentencing is set for Sept. 24. Federal agents found the explosives -- and more than 15 rifles, shotguns and pistols and a homemade silencer -- in a search of Webster's home in January. A confidential informer working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said that Webster was preparing for the end of the world in 2012 and disliked African-Americans and Jews, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Bert said in court. Bert also said that a photo existed of Webster in full Nazi SS uniform. Webster's plea agreement says that he disputes those accusations, however. Bert said that several witnesses told investigators that Webster both showed and demonstrated the explosives and searched the Web for information about the manufacture of explosives and the conversion of semi-automatic weapons to full automatic. "Is that what happened, Mr. Webster?" U.S. District Judge Charles Shaw asked. "Uh, yes, your honor," Webster replied in a loud, clear voice. Webster did not admit stealing the explosives. But earlier this year, ATF Special Agent David Whittaker testified in a preliminary hearing that tools similar to those used to cut through two chain-link fences and padlocks to reach the materials had been found in Webster's house. The explosives were used by the FBI and the county bomb squad for training and disarming bombs. Webster, a onetime honor roll student at St. Charles High School, had been studying history at St. Charles Community College until shortly before his arrest. He was arrested at a grocery where he worked. To see more of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, or to subscribe to the newspaper, go to http://www.stltoday.com.
