Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested a Willcox man on Wednesday, several days after reports that a pipe bomb exploded.

Willcox police searched the area near Curtis and Haskell Avenues on Sunday evening where they found "material, components, and fragmentation consistent with the deployment of a PVC pipe bomb" and contacted ATF agents, police said. No one was reported injured in the explosion.
