Police in South Carolina are investigating an incident involving a vehicle that drove through security fences at a nuclear power station on Thursday.
Jon Haworth, Luke Barr and Meredith DelisoA person of interest is in custody a day after a man drove a vehicle through security fences at a nuclear power station in South Carolina, authorities said.
Oconee County Sheriff Mike Crenshaw identified the person of interest as Doyle Wayne Whisenhunt, 66, of Lockesburg, Arkansas. He is wanted on drugs and weapons charges out of Arkansas, the sheriff said. Crenshaw said potential charges for a suspect apprehended in the incident could include trespassing, malicious injury to property "and possibly attempted murder, as far as his action toward one of the security officers."
The driver then reportedly drove out of the exit of the plant where he attempted to hit a security truck with a guard in it, police said. The Toyota Camry was located Friday afternoon in Pickens County, Crenshaw said. It was unoccupied, he said.
