Initial concerns of a possible explosive device at a Logansport school resulted in evacuation of the building and bomb techs being called.

About 8:30 Wednesday, Logansport Police were notified that a suspicious object was found inside an exterior light pole in the rear parking lot of Logansport Intermediate School. The building was immediately evacuated as Logansport Police, Logansport Fire, the Cass County Sheriff's Office, Indiana State Police and Cass County EMS responded to the scene.

Indiana State Police EOD were called in to investigate the device inside of the metal light pole. Meanwhile, two trained and certified bomb dogs from Vohne Liche Kennels performed an interior sweep of the school and no items related to explosives were found.

The bomb dog and handler then approached the light pole where the device was quickly determined to not be an explosive device.  It was determined to be a vibration dampener.  The dampener is used inside of polles to reduce swaying.  It had broken loose from the wire casing anf fell inside the pole.

Logansport Police report that the all-clear was given just after 11 a.m. and everyone returned to the building.
