Bombs and bomb threats were most prevalent in the US in the 1970s-1980s.
Seems a few people woke up on New Year's Day 2025 to execute a bomb plot.
The Payette Police Department responded to a call on Jan. 1, at roughly 6 a.m., about a suspicious person trying to light something on fire in the 600 block of North 8th Street, Chief of Police Gary Marshall said.
"Without their assistance in notifying us of the situation, who knows where we'd be or what we'd be talking about," Marshall said.
A news release from Payette Police said officers arrived in the area and found fresh footprints in the snow. The tracks led to a train car, where police found an undetonated Improvised Explosive Device (I.E.D.).
Officers followed the footprints, which brought them to a camp trailer parked near a house on North 8th Street.
The suspect, later identified as 40-year-old Brent Sharrai from Payette, tried to flee the camp trailer on foot but later surrendered to officers after a short pursuit, according to the police department.
