(KNZA)--A man wanted by Leavenworth Police in connection with two pipe bombings and a woman wanted by Shawnee County authorities were arrested in Brown County late Thursday night.

Brown County Sheriff John Merchant says a deputy was on routine patrol on Kestrel Road in the vicinity of 300th Road around 10:45 when he noticed a vehicle pull off to the side of the road and turn its lights off.

Upon further investigation by the deputy, Merchant says it was determined the vehicle and license plate were both stolen from Leavenworth County.

He says the deputy made contact with the male driver and female passenger, who both gave false names.  Both were arrested and transported to the Brown County Jail.

At the jail,  Merchant says the pair were identified as 32-year-old Simon Pohl, of St. Joseph, and 27-year-old Jessica Mottin, of Atchison.  

The pair were arrested on two counts of possession of stolen property and felony obstruction. In addition, Mottin was arrested for possession of meth, possession of drug paraphernalia and trafficking contraband into a correctional facility. 

Merchant says it was learned that Pohl was wanted on Leavenworth County warrants for criminal use of explosives and possession of meth. Each warrant was for $100,000. The felony warrants had been issued earlier Thursday.

It’s alleged that Pohl is connected to two recent incidents involving the placement of explosive devices on vehicles in Leavenworth.

Merchant says it was also learned that Mottin was wanted on $2,500 Shawnee County warrant for trafficking contraband into a correctional facility.

Both Pohl and Mottin remain in the Brown County Jail.
