Bus Driver Accused of Making a Bomb Threat

A mass transit driver in Davie was arrested after he allegedly threatened to blow up a bus, authorities said.

An improvised bomb and two hollowed-out grenades were found in the apartment of the man, Victor Carrera. About 10 people in nearby homes were told to leave while a bomb squad searched the building, Broward County sheriff’s spokesman Jim Leljedal said. Police learned about the alleged threat from Carrera’s relatives.

Carrera, 40, was charged with making a bomb threat, possession of a destructive device and possession of a hoax device. The sheriff’s office said additional federal charges could be filed.
