On N Baxter between 3rd and 4th Streets lies a potentially explosive device. Oregon State Police have been called in and are sending up a bomb squad from Medford. This picture of the device might easily be confused with Sand Candy
Oregon State Police collect the bomb, put it into a day box for evaluation and testing and will attempt to lift prints. CPD Sgt Smith says the bomb looked pretty juvenile.
Thankfully this was not a sophisticated or powerful device. That said, it does take a heavy degree of courage and a lot of knowledge to pick up a device like this and put it in a box. Kudos to the CPD and OSP for handling this bizarre event in sleepy little Coquille.
Looks like the frozen peas guy, the thingy on his head.
Funny, I was just having that conversation with a local news person…great minds think alike, I guess!
I’m sorry, but it almost looks like a used condom with the ‘Depositor’ attached.
I’m just sayin.
What the hell makes them think it’s a bomb?
