Warrant ordered for Georgia woman in explosives case

ATLANTA — A north Georgia woman who is accused of violating her probation is facing new charges Thursday.
 
A federal judge ordered new warrants for Celia Savage after police said she destroyed furniture at a tattoo parlor two weeks ago.
 
Savage was on probation for making pipe bombs in Habersham County.
 
Savage is being held in the Hall County Jail. She faces drug possession, DUI and criminal trespass charges.
 
Savage went to a tattoo parlor in Flowery Branch and became hostile when she realized the owner of the business was one of the narcotics agents involved in her federal case, federal probation officers wrote in a request for a warrant submitted to U.S. District Judge Richard Story. She left when asked to go but came back later intoxicated and demanded service. When she was denied service because she was intoxicated, she intentionally destroyed a glass table, the officers wrote.
 
She also drove her car drunk that night, and police officers found methamphetamine in her purse and found prescription pills marked for sale in her vehicle, the probation officers wrote.
 
Savage, 25, of Cornelia, originally was arrested in May 2012, after federal agents raided her home and found two pipe bombs and multiple guns. She pleaded guilty in July 2013 to making and possessing pipe bombs after reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors.
