A 19-year-old Russian national was arrested in Pennsylvania Friday for possession of what appeared to be a homemade bomb and bomb-making equipment stored in a suitcase.

Police found the suspicious materials while investigating a marijuana-growing operation inside the apartment of Vladislav Miftakhov, an engineering student at Penn State Altoona, according to a press release published on the Altoona Police Department’s Facebook page.

The release said:

The bomb was safely deconstructed by experts from the Pennsylvania State Police – Bomb Squad. Miftakhov, a Russian Citizen, told investigators he purchased the bomb making materials through the internet over the past several weeks. The appropriate Federal Agencies were notified and are assisting with our investigation.
