The suspect in a series of suspected explosive packages sent to prominent Democrats and others, Cesar Sayoc, has a long criminal past which includes a previous bomb threat. He faces up to 48 years in prison if convicted, according to the Department of Justice, which stressed that Sayoc is \u201cinnocent until proven guilty.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Miami-Dade County jail booking records, Sayoc, a 56-year-old\u00a0registered Republican, was arrested in 2002 after phoning\u00a0in a bomb threat to Florida Power and Light<\/strong>, telling him that if his power was shut off he would blow them up \u201cworse than Sept. 11,\u201d while also\u00a0threatening a FPL employee.<\/p>\n

Debra Gureghian,\u00a0general manager of Fort Lauderdale\u00a0New River Pizza and Fresh Kitchen where he worked as a delivery driver for several months until he quit in January, said Sayoc was unhinged.<\/p>\n
