WEST JORDAN, Utah (AP) — Authorities say a Utah man has been arrested after throwing a Molotov cocktail at a Wells Fargo branch.

Police responded early this morning in West Jordan, about 15 miles south of Salt Lake City. A bank window was cracked, but authorities say the device didn’t explode.

The man arrested is 20 years old. His name wasn’t released. Authorities say a bomb squad removed suspicious items from his car, but it wasn’t immediately clear if they were explosive.

West Jordan spokeswoman Kim Wells says the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have joined the investigation.
