Base officials said a suspected drunken driver made a bomb threat upon approaching the gate, but no evidence of explosives were found in his car.
According to Metro, the base already had the man in custody when Metro was contacted to help with traffic, but they needed the area blocked while the man’s vehicle was investigated. Metro will continue to investigate the incident.
