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 Shultz’s 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.
Friday’s 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.
Twitter Cesar Altieri, Full republican
Just a garden variety nut! Reminds me of Metesky, back in the fifties...The Mad Bomber of NYC.
I’ve been reading that he was a registered Democrat
Arrested before in 2008 for terroristic threats. End of story. Wack job.
Exactly. I’m tired of the goof balls on this forum just making crap up. This is a mentally disturbed man with a long criminal record. He fits the bill no matter what party or situation. How many of us avoid people with this type of stickers on cars...they are advertising a mental defect.
How can he be a registered voter if he’s a 3X felon?
Another thread here on FR.
question -
seeing as how he’s a felon (probation-felony for GTA) he can’t vote... so how can he be registered to a political party if he cannot vote?
the JG
It will be interesting to see what the autists at 4chan figure out from the deep bowels of the internet....
He must be related to Fauxcahontas!
Looks like he’s one of those guys who never voted in his life until 2016.
I doubt if the FBI is setting this guy up. My money is on the Soros Foundation.
Step 1: Find patsy.
Step 2: Pay patsy.
Step 3: Have patsy carry out mission.
Step 4: Kill patsy.
re: “Twitter Cesar Altieri, Full republican”
Whack job. Have you *read* what the man writes? Nearly incoherent ...
It was GREAT to see those at the young black leadership summit cheer Pres Trump! I watched on Fox and wondered if CNN showed this?
So he’s an immigrant?
The photos represent to a tee the liberals’ stereotypical view of Republicans is. All that’s missing is a Bible and a gun rack.
The FBI knows what threats he’s made in the past and to whom. That will be telling unless that was all part of the set up.
Yess! #MeToo! #iwantabomb!
