SC man pleads guilty to plotting to blow up brig

A South Carolina man accused of threatening to kill President George W. Bush has pleaded guilty to plotting to use biological weapons to attack other government officials and destroy the Navy brig near Charleston.

7 Trucks, 18 drivers placed out of service

Snippets: "Despite inclement weather during the operation, 4,442 trucks passed through the I-81 Scales," Lt. McKenzie said.

A total of 272 truck drivers were contacted and 95 truck inspections were conducted.

Seven trucks were placed out of service for equipment defects, and 18 truck drivers were placed out of service for violations of hours of service regulations, McKenzie said.

A total of 62 citations and 14 assessments for penalties totaling $9,022 were issued by troopers," McKenzie said.

In addition, 41 K-9 walk arounds (of trucks by drug and bomb-detecting dogs) were performed and 109 radiological sweeps were conducted.

McKenzie said the high visibility of the event at the I-81 Scales "was designed to send a defining message to potential terrorists, and drivers of any unsafe truck planning to operate on Tennessee highways."
