California police arrested who they believe to be a serial bombing suspect who is allegedly responsible for seven bombings within a three-month timeframe.
The Fresno Police Department announced the arrest of Scott Anderson, 44, on Wednesday, who is accused of the seven bombings which go back to Dec. 13, 2022, according to FOX affiliate KMPH.
