A Jordanian national who entered the U.S. legally but violated his admission terms was arrested for making a bomb threat to a South Carolina Highway Patrolman during a traffic stop for a missing license plate. The incident resulted in a highway closure and a four-hour investigation, but no explosives were found.
A Jordanian national, who violated the terms of his admission to the United States, is accused of making a bomb threat to a South Carolina Highway Patrolman after having been pulled over for missing a license plate. Ahmad Jamal Khamees Alhendi, a 28-year-old legal immigrant from Jordan who came to the U.S. in September 2018 but who violated the terms of his admission, has been arrested for having a missing license plate on the cab of his semi-truck.
When questioned by the officer, Alhendi allegedly said he had a “small bomb” inside the cab, prompting the officer to arrest him. A section of the highway was subsequently closed down over the bomb threat as local and federal officials investigated the incident for more than four hours. Ultimately, no explosive devices were found inside Alhendi’s semi-truck. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokeswoman said Alhendi legally entered the U.S. on Sept. 20, 2018, through St. Paul, Minnesota, but ended up violating the terms of his admission. It’s unclear what visa Alhendi secured to enter the U.S. Alhendi remains at the Greenville County Detention Center, and ICE agents have placed a detainer on him, requesting custody when he is released from police custody
