Exclusive: “Bishop” Bomber Suspect
Was Once Busted for Lesser Crimes

The 42-year-old former postal worker arrested this morning by federal agents on suspicion of being “The Bishop” – who terrorized investment firms in the Midwest by sending them threatening letters and unarmed bombs – was busted for less-serious violations over ten years ago.

John Patrick Tomkins, who was nabbed at his home in Dubuque, Iowa, was cited in 1995 for speeding, according to Iowa court records. He was also caught not wearing a seatbelt on two occasions, in February 1996 and March 1997, and subsequently fined.
