A source close to the investigation says police are now looking for a second person in connection to the suspicious vehicle found in the parking lot of the Queens Place Mall Monday.
Police say 22-year-old Louis Shenker is in custody and is being charged with placing a false bomb or hazardous substances in a mall or arena, criminal possession of a weapon and abandonment of a disabled animal.
Police received calls Monday of a vehicle with a suspicious package in the mall parking lot.
The bomb squad was brought in and gave the all-clear, saying the vehicle was deemed safe at around 11 a.m.
A dog also had to be rescued from the vehicle.
