Bedford, TX (WBAP/KLIF) – The Bedford Police Department early this morning arrested a suspect in connection with detonating an explosive device near a drainage culvert under Forest Ridge Drive Wednesday afternoon.

Police say the FBI conducted the initial investigation. Agents found a suspicious item near the initial location which was destroyed last night by the Northeast Fire Department Association Explosive Response Team.

Late last night a local and federal authorities identified a person of interest. More details are forthcoming.

In the meantime, Forest Ridge Drive, between l. Don Dodson and Bedford Road will remain closed for further inspection.
