Once the vehicle was sure to be free of other potentially dangerous devices, it was impounded and shopping area was reopened by 3 p.m.

Devlin was questioned by the Marietta Police Department, then charged and booked into the Cobb County Adult Detention Center conception a warrant.

On Saturday, Officer Chuck McPhilamy with Marietta Police told FOX 5 that there was a 911 call tipping officials off to the plot. On Monday, police confirmed that Devlin was that caller. He was charged with false report of a crime, destructive devices - hoax device, and false public alarm.

Through a thorough investigation, officials concluded that the suspected pipe bomb did acquire explosive elements, but lacked other things necessary for it to be borne a fully assembled explosive device.

With that put a question to, both the FBI and ATF declined to adopt the case. The Marietta sections will continue the investigation on its own, looking into why Devlin traveled to Marietta with the draw and why he called 911 on himself.

He faces a $60,000 bond.

Anyone with any put a question to on the suspect is urged to call the sections with tips at 770-794-5345.
