UPDATE: Bag Drop Suspect Arrested

Police have reportedly arrested a suspect accused of dropping a suspicious package in the Seaport Boulevard area by the rear tire of a marked Department of Homeland Security vehicle.

James Derepentigny, 50, of Lawrence, has been charged with planting a hoax device, after he left a package containing wires at Seaport and Atlantic Street just before 10 a.m. The man walked away after dropping the device, but not before snapping a selfie, myfoxboston.com reports.

The bomb squad used a “pack bot” to detonate the suitcase-like package in a wooded area of the median on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. Investigators have reportedly determined that there was no explosive device in the package, just cable wires and personal items.

Surveillance video caught a man walking up to the SUV, putting down the package and then leaving the scene, WHDH, 7 news reports. The package appeared to have some sort of power source and wires in it.

The BPD Explosive Ordinance Unit detonated the package. Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said investigators do not believe the package contained an explosive. But police plan to question the man caught on surveillance video leaving the package.

“We do not believe there was anything of a nature that would lead us to believe there were explosives inside, but out of an abundance of caution we went about as if it were,” Evans said.
