The state Department of Public Safety have identified the 28-year-old man accused of making a bomb threat that shut down a portion of I-85 in Greenville County.

During the traffic stop near mile marker 44, the driver, a man from Illinois, indicated that there was an explosive device inside the commercial vehicle, according to the report. All six lanes of I-85 were subsequently shut down as the threat was investigated by the Greenville County Sheriff's Office, SLED, and the FBI.

Law enforcement officials in South Carolina have shut portions of Interstate 85 (I-85) in Greenville, S.C., in both directions due to an apparent bomb threat.
