Police officers in LeRoy discovered what’s being called a live grenade in a car. It happened around 7:30 a.m. Monday after officers pulled the driver of the car over for speeding.
According to police, the officer decided to search the vehicle because he smelled marijuana during the traffic stop. That’s when the grenade was found along with a long gun.
LeRoy Police Detective John Condidorio said they are not identifying the young man that was stopped but says he was charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the first degree relating to the hand grenade. There was also a rifle found in the vehicle but the man was not charged for that because it appears to be a legal weapon.
As of 12 p.m. Monday, the car that police stopped was still parked on Route 19 in front of these houses.
