SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (WDTN) - The bomb squads from Dayton and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base rushed to Springfield Friday after a man walked into the police department with a mortar round. He told police he found the bomb while dumpster diving in the city. "I brought it down here and everybody panicked," said Carl Ross. "They told me to set it down here and step outside." It was not long before crime tape surrounded the police department, blocking off access to the public for several hours. Sergeant Dennis Chaney, of the Dayton Bomb Squad, said the bomb appeared to be inert and was removed to another location to be destroyed. Ross told 2News he was looking for scrap metal when he found the capped mortar round in the dumpster behind Taco Bell on East Main Street.
People never cease to amaze me!! When I worked at another agency, a woman came in and set a couple of pipe bombs on the counter of our substation. She said her adult son "finally moved out and left these behind." She thought if she just brought 'em into the station, we could get rid of them for her.
