PAYETTE, Idaho — A Payette man was arrested Wednesday after allegedly planting an explosive device on a railroad car.
According to the Payette Police Department, officers responded to North 8th Street around 6 p.m. on New Year’s Day after receiving a report of a suspicious man attempting to light something on fire near a parked railroad car. The suspect was later identified as 40-year-old Brent Sharrai.
Police tracked footprints in the snow from the scene and discovered an improvised explosive device (IED) near the railroad car. Officers continued following the footprints to a trailer in the 600 block of North 8th Street.
When officers approached, Sharrai reportedly tried to flee on foot but surrendered after a short pursuit. He was taken into custody on outstanding Payette County warrants. He was later booked into the Payette County Jail on additional charges, including possession of a destructive device (felony), possession of a controlled substance (felony), possession of paraphernalia (misdemeanor), and resisting and obstructing officers.
Due to the danger posed by the IED, a bomb squad was called to the scene. Union Pacific was notified, and all trains scheduled to pass through the area were put on standby for approximately five hours until the scene was declared safe. An FBI agent also responded to assist with the investigation.
Police said a robot was used to safely remove the IED from the train car, and the device was later detonated.
A search warrant was obtained for the trailer where Sharrai had been staying. Inside, officers reportedly found items similar to those used in the device on the train car, as well as controlled substances and paraphernalia.
Sharrai remains in custody at the Payette County Jail. Federal charges for possession and manufacturing of a destructive device are pending further investigation by the FBI.
Let me guess: another mohammedan rage boy just like the too many we already have.
“Sharrai’s parents said he has multiple behavioral diagnoses and described him as a child in an adult’s body. They also worry recent events in New Orleans and Las Vegas are blowing Brent’s case out of proportion.”
Oh, ya, sure, he was one of the Stewards at the local Grange Hall.
Yes, I’d say another antifa wannabe.
Perhaps Brent was doing Peyote in Payette.
Or just a punk terrorist.

Could be he’s just an idiot.
I think I figured it out.
Payette is a border town... bordering on Oregon, that is.
Maybe he's protesting all those Oregonians who want to leave their state and join Idaho? < /s>

As long as he wasn't picking his feet in Poughkeepsie.
No, he was a white dude. Don’t know what he was protesting with this little stunt.
Idaho?
Sound like it from the last name. At least the idiot ain’t named Mohammed or Abdul!
You can’t believe everything on the Internet. But from the link below:
The surname Sharrai is of Arabic origin and is derived from the Arabic word “sharri” which means “evil” or “wicked.”

Again more proof we need to reopen the mental hospitals closed down in the 1970s. When closed mass murder took off like a rocket.
