FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -- Police arrested a man and charged him with second-degree kidnapping after a brief standoff at a lingerie store.

Matthew Alexander Rivera, 27, of Hope Mills, was arrested by the Fayetteville Police Department after a standoff at "Priscilla's" at 3800 Sycamore Dairy Road.

 

Officers responded to a possible robbery. Upon arrival they were notified that the subject was still inside the business with the store manager, and was in possession of a device that appeared to be a bomb.

 

Nearby businesses were evacuated and roads near the business were blocked off to traffic.

 

Officials say Rivera surrendered without further incident. He is charged with second-degree kidnapping and perpetrating a hoax by use of a false bomb. The Fayetteville Observer reported that the bomb was made out of Play-Doh, batteries and a wire arranged to look like an explosive.

 

Rivera is currently in the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $25,000 bond.
