MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — Authorities announced Thursday they have arrested an Oregon man on charges he tried to blow up the district attorney's office, which was prosecuting him on charges from a burglary where guns and ammunition were stolen.

Alan Leroy McVay, 46, of Jackson County was arrested Wednesday without incident in a pizza parlor parking lot in nearby White City, said Medford Police Chief Tim George.

Authorities refused to divulge a motive for the blast, or what tips and physical evidence led investigators to focus on McVay. But The Mail Tribune newspaper (http://bit.ly/1ekvbg2) reported in April that McVay was one of three people being prosecuted for the burglary of a Medford home where 30 guns and ammunition were taken. Sheriff's deputies found the guns and ammunition in a local storage facility.

"It was an act of domestic terrorism against the criminal justice system," George said of the bombing.

No surprise it was a loon. The Rogue Valley is full of them. It is a beautiful place though.

2. I used to Live in Medford for a short period of time....

I think I've been to that pizza place in White City. It is near So. Oregon Raceway where the team I was on raced--as in drag racing.

Yeah, no doubt some morans all over that part of Oregon.

Eugene was much saner for me.
