Bomb Squad Detonates Suspicious Object

Police had to completely shutdown Highway 20 east of Bend so they could detonate a suspicious object.  It happened Sunday afternoon when a metal object wrapped tightly in duct tape was found off Highway 20 east of Bend, about 11 miles outside of Bend. Oregon State Police called in a bomb squad; and east bound lanes were closed for about three hours as the bomb squad made sure the device was detonated and rendered it safe.
