Douglas-- A mysterious investigation at a South Georgia truck stop lasts all night and well into Friday morning. GBI agents won't say what they're investigating, but we do know they've been guarding a truck at a quick-change mart.

Wasn't the person they thought responsible for the recent Ricin attack a truck driver? Wonder if this has anything to do with the story.

Quickie Mart?

[eyespysomething]

Dand, that's just south of me.

What tipped off police as a suspicious vehicle was the confederate flag & Howard Dean sticker on the windshield.

I live in Alma, Ga which is just 20 miles away and I haven't heard anything, but my cousin is a cop in Douglas so i'll find out by the end of the day.

Any further info from other sources would be nice. I do not expect to see more info about this story unless another news agency picks up the story.

Douglas-- A mysterious investigation at a South Georgia truck stop lasts all night and well into Friday morning. GBI agents won't say what they're investigating, but we do know they've been guarding a truck at a quick-change mart.

A store worker says agents called to find out if a truck matching it's description was parked behind the store. When she told them yes, they were on their way.

A couple of hours later, witnesses say a man pulled up in this car. When he tried to get in the truck, GBI agents took him into custody.

The FBI along with a bomb tech squad from Savannah was called in to assist the GBI with the situation.

We'll keep following this story and have more on it as it develops.

[KylaStarr]

Any updates on this? I've not heard anything on the news and was wondering.

[Amelia]

Weird. Douglas GA doesn't quite strike me as a hotbed of terrorism. Redneck City, maybe....

[devane617]

The story was updated to say that the driver would be picking up the truck. Looks like this may be someone they were watching. I bet he will have company wherever he goes, or at least until the lab work returns from the truck's contents.
