Would not like to have her in my neighborhood !

 

[learjet60]

That is too funny!!

Wonder what they mean by "Smith is charged making terroristic threats".

 

[7.62x54r]

I think that's the catchall euphemism for "we don't like your attitude and you can't mouth off to us".

 

[Wicked Ajax]

Wow.
That could have ended ugly.

That's what I was thinking.

Only if it actually was a live grenade. Every "grenade" story I've ever read that was followed up on turned out to be a de-milled "novelty" like you see at every gun show (at least around here) for $5. I've got one sitting in the gun room somewhere myself. In fact, one member here has an interesting story about one a coworker had in a federal office building, but I'll let him expound if he wants to.

Not to discount the butcher knife, but it's not like "it could have gone off and killed everyone!!!"

It is funny that the police officer bought the grenade.

 

[creepiE]

Did the officer get his money back?

"terroristic threats?" Sounds like another way to get to jail.

Not quite. The same nomenclature is used in some other states (ex: California Penal Code 422), and was referred to as 'Terrorist Threats' until the immediate post Sept. 11th period. They're now referred to, much more appropriately, as 'Criminal Threats.' Seems like a minor change, but legislatively it serves to demarcate the criminal, or more localized actions from those that would be dealt with via the U.S. Code, like Title 18 matters.

On a side note, excellent job by whatever copper innovated and came up with the idea to buy the grenade from her. Gotta love thinking outside of the box!

Probably got it at a yard sale.

I find it more funny that the cop had $100.00 on him. I know many police officers and they are by far the cheapest bunch of people I know.

Soooooo true!

 

[USMCsean]

Maybe it was borrowed from an earlier drug bust?

He was probably on his way to get donuts when the call came in.

 

[Radom]

Mmmmmmmmmmm, green pineapple!

 

[Big commander]

A bit off topic but I used to be a collector ( I would call it more "a buyer/shooter"") of military weapons in my youth. You know what? I even had the pleasure to shoot an original Delisle carbine, but never was able to find a decent live handgrenade. The stuff from the Bulge was to corroded and dangerous. Things may have changed a bit, the middle of Europe awakened, the Albanian stocks were thrown on the streets but live handgrenades seem to be rare like before. Note well: I speak only about my part of the world!

 

[C&Rriflecollector91]

lol

 

[mjmd]

good thing she did not ask for a dozen jelly donnuts...they would have called the swat guys to netralize her
