New York City, NY — A West Virginia man suspected of placing two devices that looked like pressure cookers in a New York City subway station has been apprehended, according to the New York City police. Larry Kenton Griffin II of Logan County was located Saturday morning in the Bronx and was taken to the hospital for treatment and observation. Police announced on Saturday evening that Griffin has been charged with the placing of a false bomb. Griffin was taken into police custody a day after he was seen in surveillance video at Manhattan’s Fulton subway station holding one of the objects police identified as rice cookers and determined they were not explosives. The Logan County Sheriff’s Office said that Griffin has a history of criminal activity and has been arrested by the Logan Sheriff’s Office at least three times within the past eight years.
