Man arrested after dropping backpack at Boston Marathon finish line

One man was arrested Tuesday after leaving a backpack near the Boston Marathon finish line on the one-year anniversary of a deadly bombing of the famous road race.

Boston Police issued an all-clear for an area of Boylston Street near the finish line shortly after 10:30 p.m. Tuesday after two backpacks were detonated by a bomb squad as a precautionary measure. MyFoxBoston.com reported that police found a rice cooker in one of the bags, but did not elaborate on the contents of the second bag. It was not clear who the second bag belonged to, nor was it clear how it was discovered.

Boston police did not identify the man in custody, but a spokesman said the suspect appeared to be "not of sound mind." Authorities said he would be charged with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace and possession of a hoax device.

Not on right frame of mind.....and he left his bags and was charged with a hoax? Did he make a threat? Nice to know we can now be charged With A Crime If We Forget a Bag Somewhere

Carrying any kind of a cooking device in a backpack established grounds for immediate arrest,especially there.

How come video tape of Pre-Bombing 2013 Boston Marathon there were FBI agents with their ear buds and microphones talking to each other carrying the same Back-packs as the two Brothers?-- And why has the third Bombing at the Library never been discussed and the Saudi that was arrested there sent to the White House then home?

The Boston Marathon was just another reindeer game by totalitarian fascists..who invade South Beach at Dawn with Black Hawk Helicopters and Commandos with no advance warning to the citizens--and run school shooting exercises that get reported by the media as breaking news and never explained later..
