Investigation Closed I-135 Overnight: UPDATE

Highway Patrol

Authorities are now looking for a suspect involved in a bomb or hazardous materials threat that shut down I-135 North and Southbound between Newton and Heston for 6 hours overnight.

An investigation determined the threat was a hoax. Law Enforcement officials say that a truck driver for Hobby Lobby stores received a call at 8 p.m. on Monday of possible suspicious materials on his semi-trailer truck. The truck driver contacted 911 emergency dispatchers in Harvey County.  The Interstate was reopened just before 5:30 a.m.
