The man arrested for carrying a bomb in a backpack on Saturday had a police badge and a police uniform with a Hudson Falls patch in his western Pennsylvania home when it was searched after his arrest, officials said.
Hudson Falls Police were trying Monday to determine from where the uniform came, said Police Chief Randy Diamond. The uniform was being sent to Hudson Falls by police in Washington Township, Pa., who found it in a home rented by Jason A. Babson.
The metal police badge apparently was not from the Hudson Falls Police Department, Diamond said. It’s possible Babson acquired a Hudson Falls Police uniform patch (patch collecting and trading is common) and affixed it to a uniform he acquired elsewhere, Diamond said.
