Shortly after 6 a.m. ET, dispatch officials notified the command center at Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan of a telephone call from a man threatening to blow up the Grand Haven station with a bomb in his truck, the U.S. Coast Guard said in a news release.
As personnel from the station and sector field office were evacuating, a man drove his truck through the gate of the station and broke into the building, before being detained by staff.
"When he gained access to the station after driving through the gate he was confronted by the station personnel and then detained and handed over to the Grand Haven police," Petty Officer Third Class Christopher Yaw, a spokesperson for the Ninth Coast Guard District, told BuzzFeed News.
No one was injured in the incident, Yaw said.
Police have shut down the street and surrounding area, while the bomb squad travels from Lansing to check for explosives, he said.
