A Florida man with an extensive criminal background and a fervent admiration for President Trump is in custody in connection with the pipe bombs mailed nationwide this week.

The Florida man in custody in connection with the series of pipe bombs mailed nationwide this week allegedly left a politically menacing social media trail that predates the packages by months, in some cases.

Three officials identified the suspect as Cesar Sayoc, currently of Florida and formerly of New York. They said he has past arrests, including for assault, but little more was immediately known of him.

Four more suspected mail explosives were discovered in New York City, Florida and California early Friday, one addressed to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, one to New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, one to California Sen. Kamala Harris and one to businessman Tom Steyer.

The man suspected of mailing more than a dozen crude package explosives to top Democrats and others nationwide in recent days faces five federal charges that could land the 56-year-old in prison for the rest of his life, authorities said Friday.

A nationwide search is underway for the culprit or culprits responsible for targeting critics of President Donald Trump with crudely made mail bombs and investigators now say some if not all of the packages were mailed from the South Florida region.

Some of the 10 suspected mail bombs addressed to high-profile Democrats and others over the last few days were flawed and not capable of exploding, while others have yet to be analyzed, several investigators said.
