Police said a man claiming to have an “improvised explosive device” drove a truck to the US-Canada border

A driver who declared himself carrying explosives in his car drove past state police near the US-Canada border on Monday morning, officials said, prompting border forces to open fire. The driver has been identified as Tony Holford, 42, of Providence, Rhode Island, Maine State Police said.

Officials said the suspect displayed a sign indicating an “improvised explosive device” in the vehicle. After failing to stop at a state trooper on I-95 in Houlton, Maine, the suspect drove his truck toward the Canadian port of entry, where a corporal opened fire. Police said the suspect was not injured and surrendered to the soldiers, after which he was transferred to the Aroostook County Jail and charged with aggravated reckless conduct, terrorism and failure to stop.
