MILLVILLE, UTAH – August 21, 2015 (Gephardt Daily) The bomb squad responded to a report of a hand grenade in the middle of the road next to Milllville Elementary School Friday morning.
Cache County Sheriff’s Deputy Brandon Douglas was setting up to monitor a crosswalk near Millville Elementary when a young man rode up to him on a bicycle and told him there was something in the middle of the road that looked like a hand grenade.
Deputy Douglas found the object and called for assistance.
Deputies blocked off the two blocks in each direction near the area near 650 N Main. All vehicle and foot traffic was also redirected and residents were asked to remain in their homes until the incident was contained.
When the bomb squad arrived they were able to identify the device as a paint ball grenade which looked just like a regular military grenade with a pin to be pulled which releases the spoon that detonates the device.
All area restrictions have since been lifted and deputies have cleared the scene.
