KREM: Grenade Shuts USPO Area

Coeur d’Alene Police, Fire, and the Spokane Bomb Squad closed a busy street Monday while investigating a grenade inside a pick-up truck. Police say it started earlier today when a person, who was taking care of an elderly couple who recently died, took over their estate.  In their home he found a grenade.  He said he didn’t want it and decided to take it to the proper authorities to take care of it.  While he was driving through town, he called a family member and that family member suggested it wasn’t a good idea to drive with an explosive device.  The man then pulled over at the Coeur d’Alene Post Office near 6th and Lakeside. Police closed Lakeside from 5th to 7th/ KREM2 . More here .
