West Virginia State Police say a man found with a bomb inside his vehicle has been taken into custody.

Local media outlets report police say 59-year-old Herman Vance was arrested Sunday near the Mingo-Logan county line. He is charged with obstructing, simple possession and illegal possession of destructive devices and explosives.

Police say the suspect made threats that he was going to put the bomb inside a police cruiser or the Mingo County Courthouse.

Investigators say a tip about Vance led to them finding a pipe bomb in the suspect’s vehicle.

Vance was being held in jail. It isn’t immediately clear if he has an attorney.

Two Huntington children have been injured after a homemade explosive was thrown into their living room.

Christy Cabelltells WCHS-TV that her children were taken to the hospital after a crudely constructed bomb made from a liquor bottle stuffed with fireworks was thrown through their home’s window Tuesday night.

Cabell’s 13-year-old son needed 13 stitches in his chest. The 2-year-old girl has several cuts on her face.

Cabell says that a few minutes prior to the explosion, a fight that had started between friends in her house spilled into the street.

The Huntington Police Family Crime Scene Unit is still trying to track down who threw the bomb. Police say no arrests have been made, but the culprit will most likely face malicious wounding charges.
