PIERRE No explosives were found Wednesday afternoon following an investigation at the site of the new state prison in Lincoln County.
The South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigations bomb unit was dispatched to the scene after a resident called the Lincoln County Sheriffs Office concerned about the possibility of agricultural-related explosives being located at the scene where several old farm buildings were to be demolished.
The Lincoln County Sheriffs Office received the first call and promptly responded, said South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley. DCI, the sheriffs office, and the South Dakota Highway Patrol searched the area and found no explosives of any kind. We utilized two DCI bomb technicians and a Highway Patrol police service dog. We appreciate the quick response and cooperation of those involved.
Jackley said DCI then cleared from the scene.
