IMG_8162On 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 CandyBomb_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.IMG_8218

    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?

    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.
