East Lansing police Lt. Scott Wriggelsworth said early Tuesday after the game, officers patrolling Cedar Village spotted an individual walking down the stairs of the Cedar Village ramp stairwell carrying toilet bowl cleaner.

Update, 4:20 p.m.: A 19-year-old student was arrested after celebrating University of Michigan’s men’s basketball loss to Louisville with a makeshift explosive, also known as a MacGyver bomb, Tuesday in Cedar Village.

Wriggelsworth said officers approached the man and asked why he was carrying the cleaner and during their discussion, a loud noise went off on the top level of the parking structure.

Cody Christopher Mastrodonato, listed as a mechanical engineering sophomore in MSU’s database, reportedly told police he set off the bomb in celebration of U-M’s loss to Louisville.

He was arraigned Wednesday afternoon in East Lansing’s 54-B District Court and released on his own recognizance.

Wriggelsworth said the explosive was made out of tinfoil, a plastic bottle and cleaning solvent. He said he has seen them sporadically in his about 20 years with the department, and the devices are especially dangerous because the individuals making them never know when they will explode.
