Federal authorities on Friday detained a Florida man in connection with the spate of suspicious, potentially explosive devices sent to prominent critics of President Trump in recent days.
The man, Cesar Sayoc Jr., 56, was taken into custody by an FBI SWAT team near State Road 7 in Plantation, Fla., according to law enforcement officials. Local television stations showed images of a white van near an AutoZone store being covered with a blue plastic tarp and towed away by law enforcement.
