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.
Thanks. I knew involved a traffic stop.
Yes they are. This guy got pulled over & arrested for a DUI in Maryland yesterday. He had 53 firearms in his car. Legally his, but not stored correctly.
Tim McVeigh as well.
One guy was going to attack the Pentagon? He probably couldn’t find the place through all the metro DC traffic. ;-)
Charlie Hanger, the retired trooper who arrested Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh on a traffic stop in 1995, spoke of divine intervention that occurred.

I only saw that in the headline. It wasnt mentioned in the test.
My first thought was mad at the Pentagon for giving Trump funding for the Wall.
It’s way past time to start revoking some airwave licenses for anti-American activity.
Licenses are approved for the license holders to inform/educate the public.
These people are instead doing their best to besmirch and destroy our Founding Fathers, Founding documents, the U. S. Constitution, and any political figure that doesn’t do the same.
I might add, they are denigrating any private citizen that won’t do the same too, and are in fact trying to make it a crime for Whites to even express an opinion these days.
I’ve had enough!
Community Service punishment?

1. Few watch broadcast TV any more.
2. Cable news networks do not require and do not have any government licenses.
Your idea would basically do nothing.
It’s good that they caught the guy before he could do his attack.
Let me know if it dawns on you who MSNBC’s parent company is.
Any pics of the perp, yet?
None yet that I’m aware of.
There’ll be more.
The Pentagon is too big to “blow up”
Sounds like a big government power grab over reaction.
Post 911 the Pentagon has lots of security—the guys vehicle would have become target practice for dozens of MPs if he made it as far as the Pentagon parking lot.
(Personal note—pre 911 I used to visit Arlington, VA on business and take an early morning hike completely around the Pentagon—never saw a security guard and no-one ever questioned or approached me. Today that whole route is blocked off—no hiking. :-) )
The true believers usually don't live to the ripe old age of 42.
Let me know if it dawns on you that NBC doesnt have a broadcast license either - only local affiliate stations do and NBC could stumpy stop proving them national news programs and be little worse off. Theyd still be able to run MSNBC just fine.
