FORT BLISS, Texas – Military police took into custody a person who claimed to have a bomb in their vehicle Friday as they approached a gate at Fort Bliss, officials said.

The bomb threat was made about 3:45 a.m. at the Cassidy Gate Access Control Point.

A U.S. Army bomb squad examined the vehicle, with officials finally clearing the scene hours later at 8 a.m. after no explosives were found.

Authorities said the individual arrested was not affiliated with the military, but they didn't release the person's identity.
