ARVADA, Colo. (CBS4) – A man has been charged in connection with a Postal Service mailbox that was destroyed by a pipe bomb in Arvada last week.
According to the arrest affidavit, John Henry Bowman, 45, admitted to blowing up a mailbox located in a parking lot on the 9500 block of Ralston Road with a pipe bomb.
Arvada police said just before 2:30 a.m. on April 21 several people called about a suspicious noise. Police responded but were unable to determine what the calls were about because they came from several different areas.
At 7 a.m. another person called police and alerted them to the exploded mailbox, which was in front of a building that formerly housed a Safeway grocery store.
Inspectors with the U.S. Postal Service and the ATF joined Arvada police in the investigation and were able to track down Bowman after reviewing police records of suspicious vehicles from the night of the explosion. They found an officer ran the plate on Bowman’s car, which was in the area around the time of the explosion.

Hopefully your IRS refund check wasn’t in there.
Should have just taken her fishing...
The explosion also stunned a nearby beeber.
Brilliant! /s
Henry Bowman? You’d think he’d be aware of unintended consequences.
I’m surprised it took 25 posts...
Governments are not designed to have a sense of humor.
Yikes!
I was thinking firecrackers in a personal mail box.....
From the kids I grew up with in the 60’s, there’d be about 2 dozen in prison...
Well was she hero? What about your cellmate in Federal PMITA Prison? Is Bubba the rapist impressed?
John Henry Bowman, 45,
Kids these days!
Larry, back in the 60's, we were able to buy firecrackers, M-80's and larger, out of the back of COMIC BOOKS!
Probably a Van Buren boy.
I’m only 47!! Does that mean i get to act like an @##$#$ a few more years?!?! :)
Kids these days!
And his aforementioned sweetie was 20.
Whippersnapper!
lol! Ah, i was enough of an @#$@# in my 20s and 30s for a lifetime.
I used to make fun of people my age in Atlantic City.
Now I have to make fun of myself :)
When I was younger the way I impressed a woman was by taking her on a flight to some nice location for lunch. When I was in California, that usually meant a flight to Catalina Island and lunch at the airport restaurant. I don’t think blowing up mailboxes would have gotten me anywhere other than jail.

Why? Its supposed to be of, by, and for the people. And we are all funny. A government that cant have a sense of humor is useless.
