Bridgeport Man Causes Bomb Scare Outside NJ Police Station

While no bombs were found in the search, the man was cited for weapons charges.

Drivers should use caution when parking. Drivers should use more caution when parking outside of a police station. Drivers should maybe exercise the most caution when parking outside a police station to pay off tickets.

Antonio Salguero, 39, of Bridgeport, found this out the hard way on Tuesday night when he parked his 2005 Ford Crown Victoria outside of the Somerdale Police Station in New Jersey, according to CBS Local. Police noticed the vehicle parked in the yellow-painted-curb zone and found it "suspicious." 

A subsequent search warrant and bomb-squad, complete with bomb-sniffing dogs, recovered no explosive materias, but did end with Salguero being charged with "numerous offenses, including weapons possession and possession of destructive devices," said the CBS report.
