A man suspected in an attempted bombing at a Denver-area shopping mall was arrested in nearby Boulder on Tuesday.
Earl Albert Moore, 65, a former convict with an extensive criminal record, was captured at a grocery store six days after authorities found a pipe bomb and two propane tanks while extinguishing a small fire in the food court at the Southwest Plaza mall in Littleton.
Authorities caught Moore on Tuesday after a shopper spotted him at a Starbucks inside the grocery store and called 911, said Kim Kobel, a spokeswoman for the Boulder Police Department.
