Jakarta Forum - CNN -- A man suspected of attempting to bomb a mall in Colorado last week was arrested Tuesday at a grocery store, a Boulder police spokeswoman said.
Boulder police took Earl Albert Moore into custody at a King Soopers grocery store and turned him over to the FBI, police spokeswoman Kim Kobel said.
Suspect in Colorado bomb case recently released from prison
A pipe bomb device was found after a fire broke out April 20 in a back hallway at Southwest Plaza Mall in Littleton. The shopping center was evacuated.
A federal law enforcement source said Sunday that Moore was released from a federal prison -- where he served time for a bank robbery -- one week before the botched bombing.
Moore was sentenced to 18 years in prison for a March 2005 robbery of Whitesville State Bank in Crab Orchard, West Virginia, according to federal court records.
Prosecutors asked later for Moore's sentence to be reduced to reflect "defendant's subsequent substantial assistance in investigating or prosecuting another person."
In 2008, Moore's term was cut to seven years in prison with five years of supervised probation.
Since 1984, Moore has been arrested on charges of dangerous drug possession, larceny, theft, possession of burglary tools and failure to appear, according to a public records search through the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
