VAN BUREN, Ark. (AP) -- A man dressed in women's underwear, awakened as he slept in a vehicle at Lee Creek Reservoir, had a homemade bomb in the car, a Crawford County deputy says.
Earl Henry Woodruff, 40, of Van Buren, was arrested about 5 a.m. Monday after a deputy was sent to the reservoir in response to a call about a parked vehicle occupied by a man wearing women's underwear.
Sgt. Daymon Blount of the Crawford County sheriff's office said that, when he arrived at the site, he found a man sitting asleep at the wheel of a sport-utility vehicle. Blount said the man was wearing a bra and women's thong panties, but pulled up a pair of jeans shorts - which had been around his ankles - when he was awakened.
In a search of the vehicle, Blount said he found a large plastic bottle wrapped in duct and electrical tape inside the front-seat console. A fuse about 13 inches long extended from a hole that had been drilled through the lid.
Blount said he asked the man what the item was.
"That's just a thing filled with gunpowder," was the response, according to the deputy.
"He told me ... he made it to scare somebody," and never intended to use it, Blount said.
A state police bomb technician called to the scene confirmed that the device was a bomb, Blount said, and then disassembled it.
Woodruff was booked into the Crawford County Jail on suspicion of criminal possession of explosives, possession of drug paraphernalia and indecent exposure and was released on $10,000 bond.

"He told me ... he made it to scare somebody," and never intended to use it, Blount said. I think the underwear thing would have been scary enough....

"....found a man sitting asleep at the wheel of a sport-utility vehicle."
It was that darned SUV that made him do it.
