The incident occurred around 2:30 p.m.

It was later discovered that the suspect was a sailor assigned to one of the ships home-ported in Norfolk, however the sailor failed to show the proper credentials when entering the base.

The suspect was detained at approximately 3:25 p.m. All traffic and gates were reopened and are now operating normally.
