LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. (AP) — A bomb squad responded and traffic was shut down on a busy suburban Portland road after police say a man left a briefcase at a gas station, said “I’m the Unabomber” and drove off.

Lake Oswego police called for help from the Portland police bomb squad Tuesday afternoon. The bomb squad determined the silver briefcase was filled with papers.

Police Lt. Doug Treat says 55-year-old Edmund D. Sullivan of Lake Oswego was arrested for investigation of disorderly conduct when he returned to the Chevron gas station and an attendant pointed him out to police as the man he’d talked to earlier.

Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski (KA-zin-SKEE) is serving a life sentence for killing three people and injuring 23 during a nationwide bombing campaign between 1978 and 1995.
