Albemarle County Police Friday identified a suspect who may have been involved in Thursday's bomb scare at the University's Fontaine Research Park.
Police evacuated two Fontaine Research Park buildings Thursday morning after a man walked in and said he was carrying a bomb.
Police originally identified David Graham, a man from Roanoke, as the potential culprit, but they cleared him Thursday evening following an investigation.
Police then used video surveillance to determine a different suspect Friday.
"We were able to review some video surveillance footage in the facility and based on that video surveillance and witness statements, we were able to come up with that person of interest," Albemarle County Police Sgt. Darrell Byers said.
Albemarle County Police declined to disclose the suspect's name to the public until they have enough information to close the investigation and charge the culprit.
"The person of interest has been interviewed, but I'm not sure where that part of that investigation is of now," Byers said.
