When he was in court Thursday, Coburn asked his attorney if he was arrested for having ChapStick, likely referring to the Vaseline.

Investigators also found a notebook with written plans to make more explosive devices.

Back in 2018, investigators found jars of a highly explosive chemical called TATP, which has been used in several terrorist attacks.
