A Venice man has been sentenced to more than nine years in prison for possessing bomb-making materials and hand grenades.

25-year-old Steven Pace was sentenced Friday. Back in January, he plead guilty to possessing four destructive devices and for knowingly possessing firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

Pace and his girlfriend, Katie Smith, were arrested in February 2016 after a welfare check done by the Florida Department of Children and Families revealed the weapons.

In addition to two pipe bombs and two hand grenades, deputies reportedly found eight rifles, five handguns, several boxes of ammunition and synthetic drugs.
