A routine delivery of eviction papers became more exciting for Sangamon County process servers Friday afternoon when an explosive device was found on the property.
The incident happened about noon at a home in the 2300 block of Sandhill Road. Sangamon County process servers went to the home to serve eviction paperwork. They arrived to find numerous vehicles on the property, so they summoned an Illinois Secretary of State officer there to investigate whether the vehicles were legal.
Police discovered what apparently was a blasting cap shoved into a flare. Sandhill Road was closed down, and members of the Secretary of State bomb squad was sent to the property to investigate further.
The Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office said the blasting cap was considered a “valid explosive device.” The bomb squad retrieved it, and charges are pending, they said.
