Fake Bomb Evacuates KnightsenNews Source: KCBS Story
KNIGHTSEN, Calif. (KCBS) -- The device detonated Wednesday by a Contra Costa County bomb squad after a 1-mile radius in the unincorporated community of Knightsen was evacuated was not a genuine explosive, said Contra Costa Sheriff spokesman Jimmy Lee.
The object discovered by Rich Mythen and his wife Shelley around 1:30 p.m. inside a mobile home they had just sold but had not visited in some time was not dynamite, as it appeared. Mythen described the object as three sticks of dynamite taped to a clock and an antenna. Rather than touch it himself, he contacted police.
Just after 5:00 p.m. the device was detonated. A short time later, Lee said, investigators determined it was not a bomb.
The evacuation affected about 220 households, who were told in recorded telephone messages to seek shelter at Delta Vista Middle School.
