The U.S. attorney’s office in Colorado has officially confirmed that a California man was arrested in connection with a homemade explosive left outside a police station in a Colorado mountain town.

The office tweeted Monday that the man is believed to have placed the device. They didn’t immediately identify him.

But two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press that 64-year-old David Michael Ansberry was taken into custody over the weekend in Chicago. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the case.

The case rattled this mountain-ringed town of 1,500 people southwest of Boulder best known for its love of legal marijuana and its annual celebration of a frozen corpse that draws tens of thousands of revelers.
