Mercer man linked to Bluefield courthouse scare arrested in North Carolina
Michael Cunningham, 51, earlier prompted an evacuation of the Elizabeth Kee Federal Building in Bluefield by mailing his home confinement bracelet there. He was captured in Rutherford County, North Carolina, on multiple failure to appear charges and jailed on a 48500 dollar bond. The probe showed the package contained a home confinement device and led to detouring Bluefield traffic while officers inspected it.
