Tahoe 911 Bomb Squad

Posted by on Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 6:28 PM

Also out of California...

The incident began around 4:30 a.m. when a California Highway Patrol officer contacted a 60-year-old man in a “No Parking” zone on Highway 89 near Luther Pass, according to a CHP report. The officer arrested the man after allegedly finding what was believed to be methamphetamine.

During a subsequent search, officers found “a suspicious wire, with an on/off switch” in the man's front left pocket leading to his anal cavity, according to the report. Officers planned to have the device removed by medical personnel at Barton Memorial Hospital, but during an interview with the man at the CHP office, “the subject began to explain his knowledge of explosives and bomb-making,” according to the report.

The man's statements caused officers to become suspicious. They contacted the El Dorado County Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team and evacuated the office around 5:45 a.m. About 9 a.m., “the EOD team rendered the device safe and determined it was not an explosive device. The vibrator was subsequently removed and placed into property."

So many questions: How was anal vibrator/suspected bomb rendered safe prior to removal? Who removed it subsequently? The man? A nurse? The bomb squad? And has anyone notified the writers of Reno 911? (Thanks to Slog tipper Justin.)

Wasn't Reno 911 cancelled? I'm too lazy to look that up myself.
