WI Goodwill Gets Grenade

It’s not what the volunteers at the Goodwill in Ashland expected to find last weekend.

The store called Marathon County’s bomb crew after someone donated a World War Two era hand grenade. Ashland Police Lieutenant Brandon Marten says it was a Japanese grenade, and based on the explosion when the bomb squad detonated it, they believe it was still live. Marten says they believe someone was cleaning-out an attic, placed it in a donation box, and never really checked to see what it was.
