A Michigan State Bomb Squad unit was called to a Saginaw Township apartment early Tuesday to investigate suspicions activity after one of its resident lit an illegal firework and threatened to blow up the complex.

Police said the 41-year-old man lit a three-inch mortar on his porch in retaliation after a neighbor asked him to turn down his music.

The blast broke a window of an apartment on the second floor.

The incident occurred just after 4 a.m. at the Liberty Square Apartments on North Colony Drive.

When police arrived the man became uncooperative and denied officers access to his apartment, prompting them to execute a search warrant.

Police confiscated several dozen illegal fireworks once inside and even asked nearby residents to evacuate the building as a precaution.

Police said the man was arrested on several misdemeanor charges, including disorderly conduct and use of illegal fireworks.
