He placed a homemade bomb made using cans Masonfull of ammonium nitrate fuel Sterno, nails and handheld shotgun Winchester 0,410 caliber at Asheville Regional Airport, according to documents filed with the North Carolina Western District Court.
An alarm clock was set on the outside of the jar, which was pressed between the glass and one of the clock's bells in order to make the matches strike and start the device.
A maintenance officer spotted Estes a few days ago when he was in black clothes in a wooded area across from the airport.
Investigators searched the area and found a green backpack and a black tool bag, partially covered with leaves.
Finding out that there is no bomb inside, the investigators examined the contents. All items found matched what was used on the device at Asheville Airport.

Estes was arrested a day after finding the device.
Court reports show that he waived his rights and openly admitted to the police that he left the device at the airport, and showed where he bought everything.
