False Alarm

The State Police Bomb Squad was called Sunday evening to the rest area on eastbound I-94 in Battle Creek. At about 7:30…a suspicious object was found near the building at the rest stop. It was hidden under camouflage. The rest area was closed for about two hours while police investigated. It turned out to be part of a geo-caching search event. The so-called geo-caching treasure hunters are not supposed to use anything that looks military in nature in their world-wide game. The rest area re-opened at about 9:30 last night.
