When law enforcement searched the suspect's home, they found an empty can with nails glued to the outside, a bag containing matches, black powder and fireworks, federal prosecutors said.
A 20-year-old man who authorities say set off a bomb in the lobby of a Santa Barbara County courthouse earlier this week was charged with a federal crime Friday. Nathaniel James McGuire was arrested Wednesday after he showed up to the Santa Maria courthouse to face a firearm violation charge and instead threw a bag into the lobby that exploded, injuring at least five people in the courthouse and damaging the inside of the building, the US Attorney's office announced in a news release.
Inside McGuire's Mustang at the courthouse, deputies found ammunition, a flare gun and a box of fireworks, along with a shotgun, rifle, additional ammunition, a device believed to be a bomb and 10 Molotov cocktails, authorities said. The suspected bomb was rendered safe by authorities.
