RUTHERFORD -- A hand grenade that forced the evacuation of at least one building after it was found in a trash bin on Wednesday turned out to be a paperweight. Police were called to the headquarters of Steamaster Co., at 275 Veterans Blvd., just before 2:30 p.m. Wednesday after a man came across the grenade as he rummaged through an outdoor garbage bin, said Lt. Robert Kriston of the Rutherford police. Authorities evacuated the building and summoned the Bergen County Police Department Bomb Squad.
A sagging roof today forced the evacuation of a state government building in Jefferson City housing 570 employees of the Department of Health and Senior Services.

After a preliminary inspection showed the roof was sagging, a more through analysis determined that the building should remain unoccupied until the snow is removed and a complete structural evaluation is completed, she said.
