UPDATE: Man In Custody After Police Say Kansas Governor Threatened, Explosives Found In Unrelated Vehicle

Police say a man is being questioned in Topeka after allegedly phoning in a threat against the Kansas governor’s office.

Saleh says the Kansas Highway Patrol arrested a man after he made a call from a Topeka motel that was considered threatening to the governor’s office. It wasn’t clear if the man specifically threatened Gov. Sam Brownback.

In the second event, police say they’ve arrested the owner of a suspicious pickup truck that was found parked near the Kansas Statehouse with several homemade explosives inside and that had specialty license plates issued only to U.S. military paratroopers.

The separate cases do not appear to be related according to officials.
