A California high school security guard admitted Monday to running a homemade explosives business with a teenager he was tasked with protecting.

Angelo Jackson Mendiver, 27, pleaded guilty to conspiring to engage in manufacturing and dealing in explosive materials and mailing explosive devices, as well as making false statements to FBI agents, the US Attorney’s Office announced.

The former security guard was arrested in June after investigators seized approximately 500 pounds of explosives and explosive materials from his Bakersfield home — and another 500 pounds at the home of his teenage business associate.

The pair communicated and ran their dangerous trade through an Instagram account, which was filled with images and videos of the combustibles, according to court documents.

In one message to the teen accomplice, Mendiver sent a photo of titanium salute, an explosive device, followed by two videos he took of homemade explosive devices

“Homemade kills all consumer,” Mendiver wrote alongside the videos.

The duo had clients across the country who bought the explosives and materials, which Mendiver and the teen delivered via mail, investigators said.

Mendiver plied his trade while working as a campus security supervisor at Arvin High School, located just outside Bakersfield.

The Kern School District, which encompasses the 2,500-student high school, did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Mendiver faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and up to $1 million in fines for all four counts.
