ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Federal authorities have charged a Carbon County man with hiding an explosive in a suitcase at Lehigh Valley International Airport, which led to the terminal being closed for more than two hours this week.
Transportation Security Administration employees at LVIA found what they believed to be an explosive Monday in a checked rolling suitcase of passenger Mark Muffley, and contacted the FBI, authorities said.
Muffley, 40, of Lansford, was arrested later Monday at his home, an FBI spokesperson said Wednesday. The spokesperson said Muffley remained in custody, and a hearing was scheduled for Thursday afternoon via videoconference.
