PRESTON COUNTY, W.Va. (WCHS/WVAH) — West Virginia State Police said Interstate 68 was shut down several hours Wednesday near the border with Maryland after threats were made to kill President Donald Trump and to blow up the Pentagon.

A 42-year-old male has been detained for questioning after a search of the vehicle revealed a fiream and explosive powder, State Police said.

State Police, the FBI and Secret Service are continuing to investigate.

Troopers conducted a traffic stop about 10:30 a.m. for speeding in the eastbound lanes near Bruceton Mills. The traffic stop resulted in an investigation that led to the shutdown of the interstate.

The interstate was shut down near the West Virginia/Maryland state line about four hours. Traffic was diverted off the interstate and drivers were advised to find alternate routes.

The interstate reopened about 2:30 p.m.

Democrats are losing their minds over the Muller report. They’re liable to do just about anything in the next few weeks.

Ooh, sounds scary. One whole firearm. Was it locked in a case in the trunk? Was the guy carrying a container of tannerite? I'm not trying to excuse the behavior if it was criminal, but details matter. Was he a gangbanger with a fully automatic mac-10 or a guy with a carry piece?

So a traffic stop found a gun and powder? Where did the terrorism part come in? I frequently drive down hiways with firearms and up to an 8 pound keg of smokeless. There must be more to it than that?

Ah, I’d go is high as 40 bucks.

But not the 80 or so they’re asking lately for big boxing events.

Hey, that could help the budget :)

Do you often make a “threat to kill President Trump, blow up Pentagon” as well?

If the Pentagon was a target, I don’t think it is about the Mueller Report. Possibly someone who doesn’t like us supporting Israel or being present in Syria or Afghanistan.

Deranged dem, nothing to see here.

Now, if the vehicle has a “Trump” sticker on it, it would have been wall-to-wall news.

I think that’s how Ted Bundy was caught, on a traffic violation.

So, the West Virginia State Police pulled over bug-eyed Adam Schiff for brains.

From wiki:

On August 16, 1975, Bundy was arrested by Utah Highway Patrol officer Bob Hayward in Granger (another Salt Lake City suburb).[151] Hayward had observed Bundy cruising a residential area in the pre-dawn hours; Bundy fled the area at high speed after seeing the patrol car.[152] The officer searched the car after he noticed that the Volkswagen's front passenger seat had been removed and placed on the rear seats.

Not exactly a normal traffic stop, but close. Bundy did something dumb, and got busted.
