Posted: July 13th, 2010 7:40 PM
On 7/13/2010 at approximately 4:30pm the Lake Oswego Police Department received a report of a suspicious device at the Chevron Service Station located at Boones Ferry Road and Reese Road. A number of Lake Oswego officers arrived at the location and spoke to several witnesses and a station attendant. A station attendant had a conversation with a man, later identified as Edmund Davis Sullivan DOB 071854. Mr. Sullivan arrived to get gas and was filling up his pickup. At one point Mr. Sullivan placed a silver metal brief case on top of the gas pump. After getting gas and starting to leave it is reported Mr. Sullivan stated to the attendant, "I'm the uni-bomber" while driving off and pointed towards the silver brief case left behind. Mr. Sullivan left the scene and the attendant picked up the brief case and carried it into the store at which time the attendant called the Lake Oswego Police.
As is standard procedure with suspicious devices, especially those left at service stations containing thousands of gallons of fuel, the intersection was shut down and members of the Portland Police Bureau Bomb Squad were called to evaluate the "device." Traffic was rerouted in order to safe guard the public while the "device" was checked out. The briefcase was found to contain nothing more than papers.
At some point Mr. Sullivan returned to the service station where he was identified by the attendant and detained. During the course of the investigation Mr. Sullivan, a resident of Lake Oswego, was cited into the Lake Oswego Municipal court for Disorderly Conduct II. Mr. Sullivan made few comments for his actions. All roads have been reopened.
"It's unfortunate that so many people were inconvenienced by a thoughtless act", stated Lt. Doug Treat
