Michigan: Suspect Threatens Campaign Rally with Hoax Device, Charged with Possessing BMM
On 27 September 2024, a 65-year-old man drove up to a traffic checkpoint outside a Trump campaign rally in Walker and held up a bottle to City of Walker Police Department officers, claiming that it was a C4 explosive. The suspect then sped past the checkpoint and ignored police commands to stop until he reached a parking area, where he began to throw bags of fertilizer out of his vehicle to make it appear as though he was in possession of explosives. The suspect was arrested, and a search of his vehicle did not result in the discovery of any explosives.
