PROVO -- A man is out of jail after police arrested him for setting off a bomb at Provo Towne Centre Mall.

The mall was open at the time, but no one was injured.

According to the Daily Herald, Provo police say Benjamin Pyne, 21, made a bomb out of a water bottle and liquid nitrogen. He set it off in the mall Saturday afternoon. It set off the fire alarm, so police and fire crews responded.

Pyne spent the weekend in the Utah County Jail on charges of making an explosive device. He has since posted bail.
