Twenty-five-year-old Kevin "Kayon" Edson was arrested near the Boston Marathon finish line on Tuesday, just a year after the tragic Boston Marathon bombing.

While many gathered together for a ceremony to commemorate last year's Boston bombing, they noticed Edson walking barefoot down Boston's Boylston Street wearing a veil and a hat. He started yelling, "Boston Strong" and appeared to be carrying a black backpack that contained a rice cooker inside of it.

"We looked into the backpack, saw that it was what appeared to be a rice cooker, had the individual take the knapsack off, drop it on the street, and he was taken into custody," Boston Police Superintendent, Randy Halstead told CNN .

Halstead also said, "In the process of rendering that safe, we noticed a second backpack off to the side. Nobody claimed ownership of it. At that time, that bag was rendered safe."

Although both bags were rendered safe, the mere images were all too familiar for Boston and its natives, who experienced the devastating result of the two backpacks that exploded in last year's bombing tragedy.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Edson was arraigned in Boston Municipal Court on Wednesday with a bail set at $100,000 and a court order that he seek mental evaluation at Bridgewater State Hospital.  Edson was charged with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, and possession of a hoax device; all charges that could land him up to 20 years in prison. Edson's next court date is set for May 7.

So how will police officials prepare for this year's Boston Marathon, scheduled for next Monday?

Well, according to CNN, officials say they have gone to great lengths to make sure nothing like last year's attacks will happen again.

For next week's race, there will be no backpacks or rucksacks on the course itself and spectators will not be allowed to carry large coolers or wear costumes or masks. Signs bigger than 11x17 inches are also not allowed and unregistered cyclists and runners are not permitted either.

Our hearts continue to go out to the families of the people injured and the lives lost during last year's Boston Marathon bombing.
