I-79 IS BACK OPEN: Chickens and ammo to blame for shutdown

[n2doc]

UPDATE 8:40 a.m.: Just before 4 a.m., Seth Grim was driving an early model Ford Explorer with Pennsylvania plates and rolled it over on Interstate 79 near Amma, WV. A dog tried to jump out of the window. Unfortunately, the dog later died and the driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries to his upper torso.

Here's where the story gets wacky. In the back of his explorer were 35 to 40 chickens along with an AK 47 and a large amount of ammunition. Also in the back of his vehicle was a device that police were extremely concerned about. The "improvised explosives" prompted a higher level of response.

The West Virginia State Police Bomb Squad out of Williamson, WV was sent to the scene and removed the device.

Initially, all of the chickens were reported to have made it out alive. Our reporter, who was on site during the shutdown of the interstate, tells us that some of the chickens did die and some survived.

I-79 is now back open, and charges will be filed shortly against Seth Grim. He's being held in the South Central Regional Jail on a $25,000 bond.

6. Had to read the headline twice, almost thought it was chickens with ammo shut down I-79

Then I realized that didn't make sense. Of course, nothing makes much sense any more.

9. Whew! Sounds like we really dodged a pullet on this one!

10. As I scanned that subject line

I somehow read it as "chickens WITH ammo." That was a disturbing thought to say the least. Glad I got that cleared up.
