The police chief said that although the woman left the grenades in her car, they evacuated the non-essential employees at the police station and parking lot to be on the safe side.

A bomb squad was called in, but it was later discovered that the grenades weren’t active and were no longer considered a threat.

NBC affiliate WPTV reported that the woman got ahold of the grenades after her father recently died.
