The FBI and Seattle authorities were investigating a Nevada man who was arrested after he was spotted on the University of Washington campus in a stolen truck carrying multiple explosive devices, stolen firearms and body armor, police said Thursday.

The man was arrested a few blocks away after a police pursuit near Seattle Children's Hospital late Wednesday, said John Vinson, chief of the University of Washington police. He gave no further details of the pursuit, but he described the arrest as "high-risk."

Justin Miles Jasper was arrested early Thursday and was being held without bail in the King County jail on suspicion of possessing an incendiary device. Jail records gave no age or hometown for Jasper, but Vinson said the suspect was 21 years old and from Nevada.

Vinson said investigators "have no idea what his intentions are."

The man was arrested at an address that is a few hundred yards from Seattle Children's Hospital, police said. Inside the truck, investigators found a stolen rifle with a scope attachment, a stolen shotgun, body armor and multiple incendiary devices, which police described as "very well made" Molotov cocktails.

Asked how many devices were in the truck, Vinson said, "Multiple ... (but) less than 10."

This proves that we need more federal controls on rifles, shotguns, body armor, and gasoline!

Tea Party no doubt, that way they can still [ass the amnesty bill and say Tea Party people are crazy.

Sounds to me like a setup.

No, no, no, no, no! It proves "anthropogenic global warming" once and for all! Settled science! This is the last missing fact! Shut down the laboratories! Turn off the computers! We now know for a solid fact "anthropogenic global warming" is true!"

Especially laws against gasoline. Maybe limit the gallons that containers may hold. How about 1 (one)?

“carrying multiple explosive devices” says the reporter, but then, “multiple incendiary devices, which police described as “very well made” Molotov cocktails”

Incendiary devices are not explosive devices, no matter how well made. More incompetent or intentionally misleading reporting.

Could be.

Or a weapons/explosives salesman with samples.

Checkpoints. They will insist on checkpoints on every highway and random vehicle searches.

Given the education level of the typical reporter, I’d suspect this to be ignorance rather than malice.

All I could find was two Justin Jasper’s in Nevada. One has a “C” middle initial. The one with no middle initial is in Las Vegas. Not sure if this is the guy.

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/JUSTIN/JASPER/us-412-Las-Vegas,-Nevada-Area

http://www.mylife.com/jackthenarrator

Mylife profile has the Las Vegas Justin Jasper as 22.

Extremely possible that it could be another guy who just stays under the radar.

Again, take this with a grain of salt. It’s a cursory web search and the results could be wrong.
