A Virginia man arrested on New Year's Day is facing multiple charges in connection with homemade explosives that were discovered in a suspected stolen vehicle, authorities said.
The Warren County Sheriff's Office reported Friday that the incident unfolded in the late-night hours of Jan. 1 when a caller alerted 911 to a suspicious dark-colored Honda that didn't have visible license plates and a driver who was wearing a ski mask and throwing items out of the car. Warren County is located about 70 miles west of Washington, D.C.
Deputies responded, but could not immediately locate the vehicle. However, they later found it and its suspected driver, 19-year-old Jordan Alexander Sweetman of Arlington, at a nearby 7-Eleven in the village of Linden, according to the sheriff's office.
