Authorities arrested a 56-year-old man in Florida on Friday after 12 suspicious packages containing explosive devices were sent to various high-ranking Democratic officials. The Department of Justice confirmed the arrest and announced a press conference at 2:30 p.m. on Friday. (RELATED: DOJ Confirms Arrest Made In Connection To Bombs)

Police covered the van in a blue tarp before towing it away, presumably to prevent people from seeing the stickers.
According to reporting by CNN, the man has a Florida address, a criminal history and ties to New York City.
