We had two Hollenbeck officers bring a pipe bomb into the watch commander’s office and the sgt. went into vapor lock when he saw it. I was working the desk and when I heard “everybody evacuate” I was over the desk and out the door. Bomb squad later told us that if it had gone off it would’ve leveled the station. Both officers were told that if they didn’t get a conviction of the suspects they were going to take some serious days off. Naturally we had a good time laughing at them once the dust settled.

Walk into the office like “Hey Sgt. Look what I found” 😂
My old partner used to say “it’s better to be lucky than good”. Sounds like one of those times!
You are so humble. Big time respect.
Love the Uncle Scotty stories . Keep them coming 🙌
Have to rewatch that movie. Thanks for the great story.
That’s Crazy! 🤣🤣🤣
Antique electrical insulators covered with dust appear very similar to Soviet era hand grenades….
