A Salt Lake City man who allegedly placed an incendiary device under a FOX 13 news truck last month was charged Sept. 26 with attempted arson, according to recently unsealed federal court documents.

Authorities found a 2 ½-gallon gas can with a “multi-foot-long fuse” underneath the news truck at an undisclosed location in Salt Lake City at about 7 a.m. on Sept. 12, according to court documents. The can and fuse were placed under the truck at about 4:15 a.m., an agent with the FBI said in court documents, but the fuse “self-terminated” before it reached the gas can.

Surveillance video taken at about 3:14 a.m. showed that the person who placed the device was wearing a backpack, carrying a red gas can, and carrying what appeared to be a “long, dark umbrella,” according to court documents.
