A recent security breach at Ohio's largest military base has prompted renewed calls for security improvements.
The U.S. Rep. Mike Turner says he wants more guards at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base gates. Turner said Wednesday he asked the Air Force to improve security even before a man drove past a guard Nov. 24. Base officials say the man entered a building but employees stopped him because he lacked a security badge.
There were some evacuations at the Dayton-area base, but employees returned that day. Base spokesman Daryl Mayer says the man showed no "ill intent" and was released.
An official with a union representing thousands of Wright-Patterson employees says security should also be improved at base buildings.
Base officials wouldn't comment on security details.
