WOODBURY — A Greyhound bus made a stop on Interstate 94 in the eastern Twin Cities after a passenger talked about a bomb.

Lt. Eric Roeske of the Minnesota State Patrol said the male passenger made some comments about a bomb, but did not make a bomb threat.

Roeske said the comments were enough “to make the driver feel the need to stop.”

The bus carrying about three-dozen passengers was headed to Chicago when it pulled over on the shoulder of I-94 in Woodbury about 1 p.m. Thursday.

The man was taken into custody. Other passengers were transported from the scene by another bus.
