SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A 34-year-old man accused of robbing a bank in August has been charged in connection with a pipe bomb found in downtown Springfield in July, authorities said.

Bradford Moss was charged Monday with possession of an explosive or incendiary device and attempted theft. He is accused of trying to blow up an ATM outside a Chase Bank near where the bomb was found, according to the charges. A Secretary of State Police bomb squad disabled the 7-inch PVC pipe bomb with a water cannon before it could detonate.
