Unexploded grenade found under Trigg County bridge

An unexploded grenade was located in water under a bridge on South Road in Trigg County Sunday.

The Trigg County Sheriff’s Office says someone was ‘magnet fishing’ off the bridge between Main Street and US 68 when they retrieved what appeared to be a 40 mm grenade.

The roadway was closed while a bomb squad was called in to properly dispose of the ordinance.
