Police and the FBI are investigating after a man was stopped Wednesday driving a stolen truck packed with weapons, Molotov cocktails and body armor near the University of Washington.

Police stopped the truck at 10:30 p.m. in the 3400 block of Sand Point Way Northeast after a UW officer determined the truck had been reported stolen out of Montana. The driver of the truck, a Nevada resident, was arrested without incident and booked him into King County Jail.

According to a Seattle Police statement, investigators found a scoped rifle, a shotgun, suspected incendiary devices -- bottles filled with flamable liquid -- and body armor inside the truck, which was reported stolen from Butte, Mont. Police contend the firearms had also been stolen.
