The “suspicious device” found in a vehicle Tuesday that led to a temporary road closure was a fake bomb. Bulloch County sheriff’s Chief Deputy Bill Black said that Joseph Daniel Wright, of Got No Lane in Portal, was charged with possession of a hoax device because when he was pulled over for a traffic stop by Bulloch County Crime Suppression Team members Tuesday, an item that was made to look like a bomb was located in his vehicle. “It was not explosive,” Black said.
