Quote:West Virginia State Police released new information about the incident along Interstate 68 in Preston County.

On March 27, at approximately 10:30 a.m., a trooper was driving on I-68, when he saw a gray sedan with Missouri registration approach him from behind at speeds exceeding 130 mph, according to a press release. This vehicle then passed the state police cruiser, at which time the trooper made a traffic stop near mile marker 30.

According to police, the driver, who has not been named, appeared to be confused and stressed and made statements that concerned police. These statements, along with other factors, led the trooper to believe there could be an explosive device inside the vehicle, the release states.

The trooper removed the driver from the vehicle without incident. After securing the driver, police made the decision to close all lanes of I-68 in that area for safety concerns, according to the release.

Police said Explosives Response Teams from West Virginia State Police, Maryland State Police and the West Virginia University Police Department responded to the scene. Three explosives-detecting K-9s from the WVU Police Department indicated the presence of explosive materials inside the vehicle. West Virginia State Police Explosives Response Team members arrived and performed a search of the vehicle but did not find any explosive devices, according to the release. The incident remains under investigation.

Special Agents with the FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Secret Service are also looking into the incident.

Authorities removed the vehicle from the scene at approximately 2:30 p.m., according to police. The interstate was closed for 3 1/2 hours.

There is no word on what charges, if any, the driver may face in the incident.

Quote:As a result of the investigation based on a traffic stop that occurred earlier [Wednesday] morning, it had been discovered that threats were made to kill the President of the United States and to blow up the Pentagon. A search of the vehicle revealed a firearm and an explosive powder. A 42-year-old male has been detained for questioning. WVSP, in conjunction with the FBI and Secret Service, are continuing to investigate. The interstate has been reopened,” according to a press release from a WVSP Spokesperson Capt. Shallon Oglesby.

Authorities did not release the name of the man in custody by Wednesday evening.

The suspect’s gray sedan, with Missouri license plates, passed Trooper First Class D.W. Satterfield, of the Bridgeport Detachment, going about 130 mph, according to the WVSP. The two were in the westbound lane and Satterfield stopped the car.

According to a release, the driver seemed stressed and confused; he made concerning statements causing Satterfield to believe there was an explosive device in the car. The man was removed from his car without incident and detained.

Three explosive detection K-9s with WVU Police alerted to the presence of explosive material in the car, the release said. Members of the WVSP Explosives Response Team searched the vehicle and did not find an explosive device. The car was towed away about 2:30 p.m. and the interstate was reopened.

The three-and-a-half hour shutdown closed all lanes of I-68 starting about 11 a.m. Wednesday. The vehicle was stopped near the Hazelton exit.

By 11:30 a.m., West Virginia Department of Transportation crews placed cones funneling all eastbound traffic off at Bruceton Mills, Exit 23.

From there, motorists could turn around and head back toward Morgantown, or taking W.Va. 26 north to Pennsylvania or south toward Kingwood.

Traffic on I-68 west was detoured before crossing from Maryland into West Virginia.

The BFS gas station at the Bruceton Mills exit was a hub of activity, and hearsay, as detoured motorists trickled in, all with one question — “What’s going on?”

Adam Heiser, a truck driver from Oklahoma, was making his way from Louisville to Philadelphia when he ran into the unexpected detour.

“Man, this is crazy,” he said. “I’m just trying to get down the road here to the Love’s truck stop. I don’t know what’s going on that’s got this whole thing shut down like this, but I’d say somebody is in some trouble.”

There were a number of law enforcement agencies on the scene, including the FBI. That agency was called in to assist by the WVSP, Catherine Policicchio, public affairs specialist, with the FBI Pittsburgh Field Office, said.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Secret Service, Preston County Sheriff’s Department, Kingwood Police Department, West Virginia Department of Highways, Maryland State Highway Administration, Bruceton-Brandonville Volunteer Fire Department, Bruceton Ambulance Service, and Maryland State Police, and FBI were all thanked by the WVSP for their assistance.
