An 19-year-old Torrance student was arrested last night at UC Davis for possession of partially assembled pipe bombs in his dorm room. More than 400 students were evacuated out of the building last night shortly after 9pm when campus police were tipped off about the possible bomb-making in the dorm of Mark Christopher Woods.
It is not clear yet what the student's intentions were, maybe achemical sciences project? CBS5 News up north gets a clip from the student's roommate: "He had no intention of blowing anything up. He had no ill intentions as a person. That's not him."
The student now faces two felony charges.
