A Wapakoneta woman found a hand grenade under a tree along an alley between Logan and Court streets, south of the 300 block of West Benton Street, Tuesday evening. The hand grenade was safely removed by the Allen County Regional Bomb Squad and detonated at the Wapakoneta Police Department shooting range off of Wapak-Cridersville Road.
