Antique Shop Find Causes Panic
What a Kentucky antique dealer thought was a neat aircraft part caused police to evacuate her store in Paris. Store owner Patty Fairbanks says she never knows what she will find at estate sales. But Fairbanks said a military enthusiast who frequents her shop recognized the device she was trying to twist the top off of as a piece of a Cold War era missile. Fairbanks called police, who got everyone out of the antique shop. Also evacuated were a nearby dentist office and a pool room. A Kentucky State Police bomb squad was called in to remove the device. It wasn’t clear whether it was an active explosive.
