The following excerpts from police logs covering June 25 to July 2 were provided by the Renton Police Department. It does not indicate a conviction.
June 26, 2013
Grenade Found: Police responded to Rock Tenn Recycling at 11:05 p.m. for a report an employee found a grenade on the line during a recycling process. It was isolated when police arrived. The responding officer assessed the object and determined it was suspicious enough to call the King County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad. Bomb investigators determined it was an inactive grenade. It was filled with BBs making it hard to x-ray its contents and the primer was designed to mimic an active primer.
