A man arrested by Oak Park Heights police during a traffic stop early Saturday was found to have “possible explosive devices or materials to make explosives” in his vehicle, police said.

The 46-year-old man was arrested about 2 a.m. Saturday by an Oak Park Heights officer for no driver’s license and no vehicle insurance offenses during a traffic stop on Minnesota 36, according to a press release from the Oak Park Heights Police Department.

“Suspicious items were found inside the vehicle which led to further investigation of possible explosive devices or materials to make explosives,” the press release states.

The St. Paul bomb squad unit was called to remove the items for further examination.

The man’s hotel room in Stillwater also was searched.

The suspect was arrested and taken to the Washington County Jail, the release states.
