Box of WWII Ammo Prompts Sheriff's Department Scare

Prattville, Alabama A man sent a shock wave of fear through the Autauga County Sheriff's Department when he walked in carrying a box of munitions from WWII. He reportedly wanted to get rid of the ordnance which his father had brought home after his military service and figured it was best to drop it off himself.

The munitions, identified as .50 caliber rounds were packed into a plastic tool box and cushioned by a towel. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency was contacted to examine the ordnance. The rounds were carefully placed outside in a secured, fenced in area near the sheriff's office with sand bags secured around them while waiting for the bomb squad to respond.

The rounds were safely removed off-site for proper disposal by the public safety bomb squad.
