A chiropractor was jailed after a bomb scare led authorities to find explosives materials inside of his Park City office, police said.
A bomb scare occurred at the chiropractor’s office earlier this week, when someone reported seeing bomb-making equipment in the hallway.
As investigators searched and secured the office building, they reportedly found more equipment inside the office of chiropractor Matthew Zarit. Officials believe that the equipment in the hallway also belonged to Zarit.
Zarit, 36, was eventually arrested and booked into the Summit County Jail. Authorities believe he intended to blow up the office building with the bomb-making materials which included gasoline, sodium hydroxide, road flares and a fuse.
Zarit faces two felony charges of attempted arson and possession of an incendiary device.
