Investigators arrested an Elk Grove man identified as a suspect in numerous explosions over the past several months in south Sacramento.
Robert Ziganto, 61, was arrested Tuesday after authorities served a search warrant at his home, the Sacramento Police Department announced in a news release.
Ziganto was booked at the Sacramento County Main Jail, where he remained in custody Wednesday. His bail amount was set at $100,000.
