A 44-year-old man with links to a white supremacist group has been arrested in connection with seven bombings in Fresno County, including a county probation department vehicle that was destroyed, authorities said Wednesday.
Scott Anderson of Fresno allegedly made and used pipe bombs on six vehicles since Dec. 13, deploying explosives inside and under the vehicles on six different occasions. The seventh bombing involved a mailbox, according to authorities.
Four people linked to Anderson have also been arrested for various charges. What, if any, connection or involvement they may have had in the bombings was still under investigation, Balderrama said.
Authorities said they seized 11 illegal firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and almost 90 grams of methamphetamine that appeared packaged and ready for sale, along with about $50,000 in cash after serving search warrants in three different locations.
Frank Rocha, 56, has been charged with being in possession of bomb making materials. Steven Burkett, 51, was arrested and charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and being a felon in possession of ammunition.
Paul New, 55, was arrested and charged with being in possession of an explosive device, being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, being a felon in possession of ammunition and altering a firearm.
Amanda Sanders, 41, was charged with being in possession of methamphetamine for sale.
