BRANFORD, Conn. -- The FBI says that a tractor-trailer that agents and police officers had surrounded at a travel stop on Interstate 95 in Connecticut is carrying no explosive devices.
Spokesman William Reiner said Friday that the truck is not a danger to the public.
Branford first selectman Anthony DaRos had said earlier that the truck was surrounded, but it's not clear what led to the situation.
