After a three-day manhunt, the FBI has arrested a man they say stockpiled explosives in his San Francisco apartment. Ryan Kelly Chamberlain II was arrested by San Francisco police Monday.

According to SFGate, Chamberlain had written an “apparent’’ suicide note on Facebook earlier in the day. The FBI said Chamberlain was armed and dangerous.

A new message on Chamberlain’s Twitter account pushed back against some of the FBI’s allegations:

He was found when a witness spotted him near Crissy Field in San Francisco. The field is part of The Presidio, a park system near the Golden Gate Bridge.
