The Shilin District Prosecutors' Office has detained the son of television
personalities Sun Peng and Di Ying over allegations related to a homemade
flamethrower and weapons possession.

Sun An-tso is suspected of offenses that include public intimidation,
endangering public safety, and illegal possession of a non-standard shotgun
and imitation firearms.

Prosecutors further argued that Sun could collude with others, tamper with
evidence and interfere with witnesses if he isn't detained.

Sun was seen in a video circulated on social media showing individuals
testing a flamethrower-like device near a riverside area in Taipei.

Prosecutors and police searched Sun's residences of Sun on Saturday... they
seized a shoulder-mounted flamethrower device, fuel hoses, industrial gas
cylinders, a modified shotgun, imitation firearms and marijuana.

Another suspect has has been released on bail of 30,000 N-T.

Sun drew international attention in 2018 after being arrested in the U-S over
threats linked to a planned school shooting.

He later pleaded guilty to terroristic threats and weapons-related charges
before he was deported back to Taiwan.
