City Hall Evacuated After Explosive Turned In

The Eden Valley City Hall had to be evacuated after someone turned in an explosive device.

Meeker County Sheriff Mike Hirman says his office got a call Tuesday morning from the Eden Valley Police Department. Someone had found the device while cleaning out a storage shed and walked it in to the City Hall/Police Department.

The Minneapolis Bomb Squad was called and was able to remove the device and detonate it in a remote location.

The sheriff's office is investigating.

Eden Valley is about 27 miles southwest of St. Cloud.
