Woman brings old grenade to police station — Police evacuated a block in Grants Pass after an elderly woman and her grandson dropped off a World War II-era grenade at the police and fire station. Lt. Dennis Ward said the woman told an officer Monday someone had given her the grenade in 1945. The officer placed it on the ground and the area was evacuated. The Oregon State Police bomb squad was called in to remove the grenade, and the area was reopened just before noon. The squad determined the grenade wasn’t live. No investigation is planned.

Mishap at drone range ignites a fire — Firefighters extinguished a small fire at a Pendleton drone range. Range manager Darryl Abling said the mishap occurred Saturday at the Eastern Oregon Regional Airport. He declined to say what type of unmanned aircraft system was involved or what went wrong during the test. There were no injuries or damaged property. The airport control tower notified the Federal Aviation Administration and the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the institution that oversees all unmanned-aircraft operations in Oregon. Abling declined to identify the organization that was testing the drone, though he said it is a customer of the range and the FAA authorized the operation. The organization won’t be allowed to fly at the range until after a review.
