(Ashland, MN) — Staff at a northern Minnesota Goodwill store got an unwelcome surprise as they were unpacking a donation box over the weekend. Officials with True North Goodwill say a staff member at the Ashland store pulled a live hand grenade out of a box on Saturday. Staffers put the grenade outside, evacuated and closed the store and called the police. The grenade was secured by law enforcement and the store reopened yesterday. The store’s assistant manager said the grenade was probably part of a World War Two collection that was mixed with other items and donated when someone passed away.
