“It’s old. It’s rusted and everything,” she told a 911 dispatcher. “It still has a pin in it so I didn’t whether it was used or not.”
Dayton police Lt. Jason Hall on Wednesday said the 788th Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel from Wright Patterson Air Force Base also responded to assist.
The device was determined to be a French hand grenade from the World War II era.
“The device was found to have potentially hazardous components and was safely disposed of,” Hall said.
The house previously belonged to a veteran before it was vacant, according to dispatch records.
