Virginia pipe bomber arrested in Montana

A man wanted for attempting to kill his ex-girlfriend and two Stafford County law enforcement officers with pipe bombs was arrested in Montana on Thursday, authorities announced.

Laurence Alan Stewart II, 25, launched pipe bombs out of his vehicle — several of which exploded — while he was pursued by Montana Highway Patrol before authorities managed to disable his car, according to the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office. Stewart then tried to escape on foot while armed with a handgun before he was taken into custody.
