A 45-year-old Chinatown resident is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court today after his arrest this morning for allegedly planting a homemade pipe bomb two months ago at a Kaimuki rooming house.

The FBI said Patrick Lopes allegedly placed the pipe bomb at a home on 7th Avenue because he had a personal grudge against one of its tenants.

The FBI said Lopes built the pipe bomb from materials he bought at Home Depot.

--------

The landlord of the Kaimuki rooming house told the FBI that Lopes lived in her building from June 1994 to August 2011, but she evicted him for smoking marijuana and because of complaints by other tenants.
