MIDLAND, Texas - A North Carolina man arrested for carrying explosives through an airport we will be arraigned Tuesday. Officials said Saturday Trey Atwater from Hope Mills walked into the terminal at Midland International Airport in Texas with military-grade explosives.

He's active military and was traveling with his wife and children when TSA workers found the materials in his carry-on bag.

Police say his mother lives in Midland but his family lives in Hope Mills, where they were headed at the time. According to the Midland Reporter-Telegram, he was a member of the Lee High School class of 1999. The paper also reported an announcement posted online by the Permian Basin Welcome Home Committee in 2010 said Atwater was a member of the U.S. Army and scheduled then to leave for his third tour of duty in Afghanistan.

A bomb squad member says this kind of thing happens to military members and he hopes it was an accident.

Security workers swept the terminal, cleared it and reopened the area. Atwater faces a federal count of attempting to get on an aircraft with an explosive. The specific type of grade of explosive won't be known until the materials are tested.
