MIAMI (CBSMiami/CNN) Federal authorities have arrested a man in Plantation in connection to a series of package bombs that have been sent to top Democrats and President Trump critics, according to CBS News.
The man was taken into custody at an Auto Zone store on State Road 7 at SW 6th Street around 10:30 a.m. A loud explosion was heard at the time of the arrest, possibly from a flash bang device used by FBI in the course of making the arrest.
A law enforcement source told CBS4 the man is 56-years-old Cesar Sayoc and they were led to him through DNA evidence. Sayoc reportedly has ties to New York and that he has a criminal history.
The FBI wrapped a blue tarp over the top of a white van in the parking lot, to preserve any evidence, before it was put on a flatbed truck and taken to an FBI facility.
Friday morning, the existence of two more package bombs were revealed by authorities.
The 11th suspicious package has been found at an Opa-locka mail facility, it was addressed to New Jersey Senator Cory Booker.
It was discovered Thursday night and it is similar in appearance to the others that were sent to prominent Democrats and critics of President Donald Trump.
In New York Friday morning, police responded to a suspicious package at a postal facility in midtown Manhattan. The package was similar to the others and was addressed to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper at the Time Warner Center where CNN has its New York bureau.
On Thursday, the FBI and the Miami-Dade Police Department bomb squad spent hours at a United States Postal Service mailing distribution center in Opa-locka.
CBS News confirmed several packages may have originated at the facility. Postal inspectors have been poring through millions of pieces of mail, searching for similar packages.
The FBI stated every single suspicious package has the name and address of Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Shultzs Sunrise office.
Friday morning, Wasserman Schultz said it was disturbing and devastating to have her name used on the package bombs.
All of the parcels were sent in similar packaging and the devices were made to appear like active bombs. Investigators are working to determine whether the bombs were just poorly designed or if they were simply meant to scare the recipients.
Besides the FBI analyzing the devices in Virginia, CBS News reports investigators are looking through surveillance video from the Opa-locka facility, especially video from cameras in the self-mailing area.
The FBI is also looking for video at neighboring businesses.
Fridays development comes one day after three additional packages the 8th, 9th and 10th in the series were found addressed to Robert De Niro and Joe Biden.
Everything I read says registered Republican
Thank goodness the TeleTubbies didn't curry his favor.
This just seems too pat.
He’s obviously a nutcase.
But whose nutcase?
The FBI/CIA Has contacts like these crazy people they keep on call......................
You can thank Jeb Bush for that.
Yes, I noticed the ‘stickers’ are NOT SUN FADED, AND ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS SOUTH FLORIDA!...................
Oh, my! That is excessive! When FBI processes all those stickers, whose fingerprints will they find?
Double posting with the same time stamp is a sign of Mad Skillz....
Declassify all the FISA stuff, and disband the FBI.
Very perceptive! Not even the mosr rabid Trump supporter has this many stickers on their car. Once again, like with Kavanaugh, the Whacko Dems have overplayed their hand.
“it was addressed to New Jersey Senator Cory Booker”
Senator Spartacus sighs with relief: now he won’t have to mail himself a fake bomb to prove that he belongs with the “elite” Trump haters ...
Heres his Twitter page, with a lot of pro-trump/MAGA material.

He has a history with breaking the law. Them is the types the FBI use as informants.
Either he’s a total whack job or he’s a front for a terrorist organization or the Deep State or the Democratic Party, but I repeat myself.
Only, it might be a real one. You never now what this nutcase might admit to.
Like Oswald?
Maybe the son of immigrants.
Don’t be surprised if he’s mysteriously killed and nobody seems to know why. It’s pretty easy to find a patsy to “take care of” the other patsy. Maybe his name is Jack Ruby.
Remember the Atlanta Child Killings? Remember how they disappeared from the news after they found out the murderer was a black guy?
Didn’t Susan Collins get one too?
