Georgia College Girl Arrested for Alleged Pipe Bomb 'Hobby'

Celia Savage of Georgia was arrested building bombs during an ATF raid.

Her father says she's just a daddy's girl with some unladylike hobbies. The FBI and the ATF disagree.

Celia Alchemy Savage, 23, was arrested by federal and local officials
after a Wednesday search of her Cornelia, Georgia home allegedly turned
up two pipe bombs, a pistol, suspected marijuana and methamphetamine and
alleged drug paraphernalia. She is being held on federal weapons,
explosives and drug charges, and has been denied bond.

According to the criminal complaint, when an ATF agent asked Savage what
there was to do in Cornelia, Georgia, she said, "Blow things up." The
agent said that Savage also stated that she "likes to blow up toilets in
the woods."

Savage allegedly told authorities that "manufacturing explosive devices
and detonating them for recreation was her hobby," and that she had
built five to seven pipe bombs for fun.

"Savage stated she was aware that it was wrong, or against the law, to
manufacture the destructive devices," alleged the ATF agent in the
criminal complaint, "but claimed she has a passion for it."

The complaint alleges that the drugs, drug paraphernalia, "numerous
pills," pistol and bomb components were found in a bedroom of the
residence that Savage described as her "lab." According to the ATF
agent, Savage admitted that she had used marijuana "the previous day and
methamphetamine two (2) months ago."

A video of Savage blowing up a toilet in the woods can still be seen on
YouTube. Savage's father, Tommy Savage, confirmed to investigative
reporter Mark Winne of ABC Atlanta affiliate WSB-TV that his daughter
was the person seen in the video.

Savage's Facebook profile, which is also still on the web, lists
"explosives" as an interest, her political orientation as "anarchist"
and her status as "Push to test. Release to detonate."

"I despise all law enforcement and any governing authority," she says in
her "about Celia" section. "I am not one for selective targeting but
mass destruction." Various photos show Savage with high-powered weapons,
holding a snake, riding a motorcycle, in a kickboxing stance and posing
with her father and a dead animal.

The profile also includes a paraphrased quote from Scott Adams, the
creator of the quotes from George S. Patton and U.S. Grant: "There is no
problem that cannot be solved by the use of high explosives."

Savage's father Tommy told Winne of WSB-TV that his daughter was a
daddy's girl and a church-going college student who is not a member of
any radical group. "She likes to hunt and fish," said Savage. "She loves
shooting. She goes sky diving. All kinds of stuff like that that you
wouldn't really typically think of a young lady doing." He denied that
she was a drug user, but said he worried about some of the people with
whom she'd been hanging out.

Tommy Savage also said, however, that his daughter shared his distrust
of government. "I think everybody ought to be able to set on their
property and do whatever the heck they want to," he told Winne.

Tommy Savage declined a request from ABC News for comment. His
daughter's court-appointed lawyer did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.
