Wilmington police say a building was evacuated and traffic rerouted after a man hung a hand grenade on his apartment door.
It happened at an apartment building at 1301 North Harrison Street on Friday about 9
a.m., when someone from the apartment's management found the device and called police.
Officers confirmed the device was a hand grenade, evacuated the floor and detoured
traffic.
Bomb squad officers removed the grenade, which appeared to be hollowed out.
57-year-old Christopher Dougherty tells police he put the grenade on his door as a
joke. He's been charged with
disorderly conduct.
