As Tuesday marked the one year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing, police arrested a man who planted fake bombs near the marathon's finish line.
According to BuzzFeed, the man identified was Kayvon Edson, a 25 -year-old who struggled with mental illness. Police detonated two backpacks after suspicions of a possible bomb.
One of the bags was left by Edson who was wearing an all black get up with a black floppy hat. Edson was walking down the street barefoot screaming "Boston Strong," a saying that the town has adopted after the Boston Marathon bombing when he was approached by police.
After telling police he left a bomb by the site, he was arrested while a Bomb Squad tended to the back packs.
One of the bags detonated contained a rice cooker filled with confetti while the other contained photo equipment.
Police are now looking into Edson's reasoning behind the hoax. Just a few days ago the suspect posted memes of Boston Bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev on his Facebook page.
Edison is charged with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, and possession of a hoax device.
