Payette Police arrested 40-year-old Brent Sharrai after discovering an improvised explosive device (IED) attached to a railcar in Payette, Idaho.
Officers responded to a report of a suspicious individual attempting to ignite an object near a parked railroad car in the 600 block of North 8th Street.
Upon arrival, they observed fresh footprints in the snow leading to a train car, where they found an undetonated PVC pipe-bomb-style device affixed to a step.
Following the footprints, officers located Sharrai in a nearby camp trailer. He attempted to flee but surrendered after a brief pursuit.
During the arrest, Sharrai reportedly claimed he was “just trying to make a loud explosion or loud boom” and did not intend to cause harm or property damage, Idaho Stateman reported.
