Two Martinsville men were charged following an incident that involved what authorities identified as an improvised explosive device, according to a release from the Henry County Sheriff’s Office.

The Martinsville-Henry County 911 Communications Center received a call at 9:49 p.m. on Friday,           Sept. 27 in reference to a fire cracker that had exploded in an individual’s face at 124 Konya Dr., Martinsville.
