The highway department put the device in a vehicle and took it to the police department, according to Deputy Chief Richard Burrows. Police cordoned off the area, and State Police disarmed the bomb. No one was injured.

“It was a real pipe bomb” said Jennifer Mieth, spokesperson for the state fire marshal.

State Police took pieces of the device back to a lab for analysis. A press release will be released later today, Burrows said.
