SISTERS, OR -- The State Police bomb squad responded to a suspicious item at the Fir Street Park in Sisters, Friday morning. It turned out to be the remnants of the “bottle flipping” game, by three 12-year-olds.
A city employee discovered a bottle covered in black tape and called authorities. The bomb squad determined it was a sports drink bottle with a small amount of liquid.
Investigators say the boys were “bottle flipping” at the park and wrapped the bottle in black duct tape when it started to break down. Then, the boys left it behind when they were done.
The Sheriff's Office encourages the public to report suspicious items or packages that seem out of place.
