After getting calls Tuesday night about a loud boom noise near Peeler Bend Road, the Saline County Sheriff’s Office immediately responded and followed up by sending two deputies to the area to conduct a further investigation.
Early on Thursday, a citizen came forward and took responsibility for what actually occurred. The investigation conducted by the SCSO has revealed that the explosions heard by citizens were a result of a binary compound which is legal to possess. No illegal material(s) were ever in the possession of the citizen.
This anonymous citizen has expressed their sincere remorse for alarming, disturbing, upsetting and startling neighbors.
In a press release, the SCSO stated, “[We] would like to express thanks to all of the citizens who contacted the office with information pertaining to this incident.”
