A man named Cesar Sayoc Jr. has been arrested in Plantation, Florida in connection with the string of nonfunctional (as far as currently known) mail bombs to various well-known Democrats. He reportedly has an address in Aventura, Florida and has ties to New York. He has a long arrest record, including one in 2002 for making a bomb threat. He is also reported to be a registered Republican, but there may be some evidence to the contrary.
