A Newton homeowner is facing a slew of charges after the State Police Bomb Squad evacuated his neighborhood Monday evening when an explosive device, various weapons and a cabinet full of chemicals were found in his home.

Stephen Wong, 56, of 21 Talbot St., was arrested after he turned over an inventory of weapons to police just before 6 p.m., said Lt. Bruce Apotheker.

When police arrived, Wong directed them to a bedroom on the second floor of his home and allowed officers to remove two unsecured loaded guns from a closet.

Officers also found several dangerous weapons in plain view inside the closet, including knives, throwing stars and blowguns.
