Krebs was spotted at a “No Kings” rally in West Chester, Pennsylvania, on June 14, 2025, putting on a tactical vest and hiding a gun, officials said.
A witness told police he saw weapons along with Krebs putting on a yellow raincoat while standing at the back of a black Ford Explorer that had its trunk open. Krebs was then seen by the person walking south on the sidewalk toward the rally while carrying a flag. The officers stopped Krebs, questioned him and asked him to unzip his raincoat and put his hands out to his sides.
While stopped by the officers, Krebs was initially hesitant to answer their questions but did comply, officials said. The officers reported finding a fully loaded Sig Sauer P320 handgun, three loaded Sig Sauer magazines, six loaded assault rifle magazines, an M9 bayonet knife, oleoresin capsicum spray, a pocketknife, a ski mask and gloves in Krebs' possession.
One of the responding officers also found Krebs' Ford Explorer that was parked on High Street where he saw that there was an AR-15-style rifle on the floor of the backseat, officials said. Krebs did not have a registered conceal to carry permit, investigators said. He was taken into custody that day.
Then on Monday, June 16, 2025, investigators who were working on a search warrant at a home in East Whiteland Township where Krebs lived with his sibling found a pipe bomb inside a desk drawer, officials explained. The Montgomery County Bomb Disposal Unit was called to assist with the removal of the bomb.
As investigators continued their search through the home, they found approximately 13 improvised explosive devices as well as drawings of explosive devices, 21 firearms, a homemade silencer, 3D printer, switches and tactical vests, officials said. All of the explosives were deemed safe by the bomb unit and no one was hurt, according to investigators. Those explosive devices were later turned over to the FBI, officials said.
Another search warrant was executed at the house where Krebs' parents live on Yardley Drive in West Chester, officials said. While conducting that search, a detective saw a police/military-styled radio as well as a laptop and cellphone in the basement. Krebs' Ford Explorer was parked in the driveway of his parents' home when the detective saw that it had an LED strobe light on the roof, according to the criminal complaint.
Police also saw that there was a pair of night vision goggles and a gas mask inside the vehicle. Krebs was repeatedly scheduled to appear in county court but his case was postponed each time.
Then on Oct. 23, 2025, the district attorney's office informed a judge that Krebs was no longer in the custody of Chester County and had been taken into federal custody the night before. Krebs pleaded guilty to the federal charge of possessing an unregistered or explosive device. The state charges against Krebs are still pending, officials said.
"The Chester County District Attorney’s Office is aware of today’s sentencing in federal court regarding the defendant Kevin Krebs," a spokesperson for district attorney's office wrote on Tuesday. "Our office will carefully review the facts and circumstances, including the disposition of the federal case, before making a determination regarding the pending charges in Chester County. As that review is ongoing, we are ethically bound to refrain from commenting on the specifics of the case at this time.
Once our review is complete and a determination has been made regarding county charges, we will share that determination as appropriate.

Krebs told police and the FBI that he had planned to peacefully protest at the West Chester"No Kings" rally but brought the gun because he wanted to feel safe, according to officials.
