Bomb talk halts Greyhound bus in Woodbury

Traffic is flowing normally along Interstate 94 eastbound in Woodbury after law enforcement cleared the scene of a Greyhound bus that pulled over because the driver overheard a passenger talking about a bomb.

Lt. Eric Roeske of the Minnesota State Patrol says bomb-sniffing dogs searched the bus and found no sign of explosives.

"There were no direct threats, but the comments by the subject created enough concern for the driver that he felt it was necessary to stop and report what had occurred," Roeske said. "In today's day and age you can't take these things lightly or go without further investigations."

Roeske said a male passenger was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul for an assessment. The bus carrying 37 passengers was originally headed to Chicago.
