A Florida man who is currently jailed for his alleged participation in the Capitol riots on January 6 was arrested after accidentally revealing his illegal cache of explosives while trying to sell his home on Zillow.
Jeremy Brown, a self-described Oath Keeper, former Green Beret, and one-time congressional candidate, was arrested and charged with entering restricted grounds and possession of unregistered firearms on October 2. His arrest came after the FBI spotted a Zillow listing for his home said to show a list of flash bangs, which he wasn't allowed to have.
Federal agents searched the 47 year-old's home last month to find a short-barrel rifle, a sawed-off shotgun, more than 8,000 rounds of ammunition, and two hand grenades.
In court, federal agents claimed they also found $6,000 in cash and a dry-erase board that listed food and other items necessary for life off the grid.

While investigating the 47-year-old man, they found a photo of 'what appears to be Brown's office' in a Zillow listing of his home, according to the search warrant. The photo shows a white board with columns labeled 'Food,' 'Clothing,' 'Shelter,' 'Currency,' 'Communicate,' 'Move,' and 'Shoot,' the search warrant states.
Under the 'shoot' column, 'there are numerous firearms listed and explosive devices such as 'flash bangs,' which the picture indicates he has 'on hand' but is not legally registered to possess, the search warrant explains.
The search warrant also states that Brown was living both in his home and in an RV on his property and recently purchased a trailer, both of which were registered under his girlfriend's name- which has been redacted.
Investigators believe that the stash of explosives are being kept in the RV or trailer.
