'Person Of Interest' Held In Car Bombing

Richard Thompson KIRO 7 Eyewitness News South Sound Bureau Chief

POSTED: 5:18 pm PDT May 20, 2004

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Police have arrested a person of interest in a car bombing that shook downtown Olympia and frightened a lot of people earlier this month, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News has learned.


The arrest followed a police chase that ended with the discovery of additional explosives.

Police said they were conducting surveillance on a person of interest in the Olympia bombing. When the man noticed police, he tried to run, but he didn't get far.

Police from Olympia, Thurston County, the State Patrol and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms converged on a home after a man they were chasing ditched his van in the yard and ran.

After the man was arrested, officers found what appeared to be an explosive device and bomb components in his car.

Two week ago, a bomb caused significant damage to a car in downtown Olympia. The car's windows were blown out and part of the metal doors were destroyed.

The man, who is 38, is being held on seven outstanding warrants, including charges of arson, domestic violence and drug possession.
