A well-meaning attempt to turn in an old military weapon led to turmoil Tuesday afternoon, forcing an evacuation of police headquarters and tying up traffic in downtown Lethbridge for the better part of three hours.
The drama unfolded just before noon when a man came into the Lethbridge regional police station and dropped off a preFirst World War anti-tank explosive device. Police evacuated the building and military officials later detonated it in a gravel pit.
