Federal and state authorities have recovered a stolen truck filled with ammonium nitrate in Johnston County. Federal agents with the Department of Homeland Security tracked the stolen semi from Orville, Ohio to the Flying J Truckstop just off I-95 near Kenly Friday. The Highway Patrol dispatched a trooper to the truck stop and encountered the driver, Brian H. Rutledge, 46, of Carrollton, Ohio. Rutledge was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle and resisting arrest, according to Highway Patrol Sgt. Jorge E. Brewer. Officials would not confirm how much ammonium nitrate was loaded on the stolen truck, but sources tell WTSB it was several tons. Ammonium nitrate is commonly used in agriculture as a fertilizer, but it can also be used as an explosive, including improvised explosive devices.
