After a small explosion caused a portion of the Disneyland theme park to be evacuated Tuesday (May 28), police have arrested a suspect and it's surprising. A 22-year-old employee of the park was taken into custody on suspicion of putting a "dry ice bomb" in a garbage can in Mickey's Toontown.
Christian Barnes was arrested just hours after the blast, according to Anaheim Police Department's Sgt. Bob Dunn. The Associated Press reports that Barnes, an outdoor vendor at the resort, is being held on $1 million bail and is cooperating with authorities.
A spokesman for the police say they believe the dry ice was inside a water bottle in the trash can to create the explosion. Fragments of the water bottle have been retrieved. Two hours after police were called Tuesday, the Toontown section of the park was reopened.

There was a bit of chaos at Disneyland in Los Angeles Tuesday (May 28), after an explosion occurred in the Mickey's Toontown section of the park. The cause of the explosion was determined to be from a "dry ice bomb," authorities say.
Sgt. Bob Dunn of the Anaheim Police Department tells the La Times, "Unfortunately, it's an all too-common experience." The blast is similar to others that have occurred in Anaheim neighborhoods over the past several months.
The explosion caused the Toontown section of the park to be evacuated, with police being called around 5:30 p.m. Pt. Toontown then reopened about 7:30 p.m. No injuries were reported.
The "dry ice bomb" in question was simply dry ice inside of a plastic bottle, that was then left in a garbage can. Investigators have yet to determine why Toontown was the target, or what the motive was.

South Australian beer West End Draught has launched a campaign to take back land which ended up Victorian after a mapping error 160 years ago.
