ASHEVILLE, NC (FOX Carolina) - Asheville Police said they detained a person of interest after an explosive device was found at the Asheville Regional Airport.

Michael Christopher Estes, 46, was detained Saturday morning along Airport Road after federal authorities said a tipster recognized him.

Authorities told FOX Carolina that a suspicious device was found on a curb outside the airport's baggage claim area Friday morning.

Police later confirmed the package was, in fact, explosive and had been rendered safe by the bomb squad. The airport was briefly evacuated, but the terminal reopened just before 9 a.m.

The FBI released a statement about the incident later Friday morning. Agents collected evidence and reviewed surveillance video to try and identify suspects and a motive in the case.

Was just in Asheville Friday morning, drove by the airport about that time. Was curious as to all the activity. I guess I now know why.

Definitely an American Indian name.

I found another Climbingbear in the link below, I wonder if they are closely related and no each other.
