A suspect is in custody for allegedly leaving-- outside a shopping mall near Los Angeles--what he claimed was an exploding toilet. Police say shoppers were evacuated from a mall in Glendale after the suspicious toilet was left outside a movie theater, and that a note on the toilet suggested it could be a bomb. The Los Angeles County Bomb Squad was brought in and set up an X-ray machine to see inside the toilet, and determined it was empty. Police arrested a male suspect a short time later.
