Number if banks firebombed by Tea Partiers: Zero.

WEST JORDAN, Utah (AP) — Authorities say a Utah man has been arrested after throwing a Molotov cocktail at a Wells Fargo branch.

Police responded early Thursday morning in West Jordan, about 15 miles south of Salt Lake City. A bank window was cracked, but authorities say the device didn’t explode.

The man arrested is 20 years old. His name wasn’t released. Authorities say a bomb squad removed suspicious items from his car, but it wasn’t immediately clear if they were explosive.

The threat comes on the same day Occupy protesters are marking the two-month anniversary of the movement. It wasn’t immediately clear if the Utah bomb was connected to the national protest.
