Sonora, CA — A Sonora man was cleaning out a foreclosed home at 20875 Mt. Provo Rd. Monday when he came across a World War II pineapple type grenade.
Dylan Hembree then transported the grenade to his Sonora Meadows home and called the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office Tuesday morning to report what he had found.
Sheriff’s Office Spokesperson A.J. Ford says the Calaveras County Bomb Squad and numerous other law enforcement agencies were sent over to the house. The grenade was then taken to an undisclosed location where it was detonated.
