Sayoc was believed to have been arrested at a business Friday morning not long after packages containing explosive devices intended for senator Cory Booker and former National Intelligence director James Clapper were intercepted.
Sayoc does have connections to the New York area where a number of bombs were recovered and is believed to have a prior criminal record.
Below is what is believed to be a picture of Sayoc.

A van, believed to belong to Sayoc was also recovered by authorities and covered with a blue tarp probably to cover some of the disturbing stickers displayed on the windows.
