A traffic stop in southwest Missouri yesterday reveals a suspicious device that turned out to be a bomb.

 The incident occurred in Golden City, MO, about 25 miles northeast of Joplin. Sheriff's deputies made a traffic stop on a vehicle that was then found to contain what is being described as a suspicious device. The Springfield Fire Department Bomb Squad was called to the scene and determined that the device was, in fact, an explosive device. The bomb was rendered safe and taken to a facility at the fire department.

An adult male is in custody but his identity is not being released pending formal charges.
