LUDINGTON, Mich. (AP) - Police say an inactive grenade that was found in a box of donations at a Goodwill store in western Michigan prompted a brief scare.

State police troopers and the bomb squad responded Sunday afternoon to the store in Ludington following a report that the explosive was found.

The Ludington Daily News reports (https://bit.ly/1Oee5ix ) that it turned out there was no cause for alarm, however, since it was inactive.



Authorities advise anyone wanting to dispose of a military relic such as a grenade should contact police or sheriff’s officials to make arrangements.
