On October 24 , 2018 , a pipe bomb device sent to former U.S. Attorney General Holder , which had the wrong address , was instead delivered to the Florida office of U.S. Representative Wasserman Schultz , whose name and address was on the return labels of all of the packages . During this time , similar pipe bomb devices had been sent to various influential Democratic politicians . The packages containing the devices , as well as envelopes containing mysterious white powder , also labeled Schultz 's office Sunrise , Florida as the sender . However , the person who sent these devices and envelopes also misspelled her name as " Shultz . " The same day , a similar device was found at Schultz 's office in Aventura , Florida as well . Fingerprint DNA helped identify the suspect as Florida resident Cesar Sayoc , who , after tracking his cell phone , was arrested in a parking lot in Plantation , Florida on October 26 , 2018
