No charges will be filed in an Aug. 16 bomb scare at Daisy Square Condominiums in Plymouth, Plymouth Police Det. Lt. Jamie Grabowski said today in a news release.
Grabowski said that on Aug. 16, Plymouth Police and other emergency personnel responded to the condominiums, 101 S. Union St., for a suspicious package found in a dumpster. The Michigan State Police Bomb Squad rendered the item safe and turned it over to local police.
According to Grabowski, the item was revealed to be a homemade prop purchased by a Plymouth resident in 2011 as part of a Halloween costume. The owner of the item threw the prop away on Aug. 16, Grabowski said, after cleaning out his garage.
