A live grenade and homemade explosives were found during a probation compliance check in Palo Cedro Thursday, according to the Shasta County Sheriff’s Department. Deputies and probation officers contacted 69-year-old Barton Wise, who’s on post release supervision, at a home on Berkeley Drive. Authorities reportedly found Methamphetamine, ammunition, various liquid and powder chemicals, a live grenade and a CO-2 canister with a fuse sticking out of it. The bomb team was called to collect the explosive materials and take them away for destruction. Wise is in jail on $25,000 bail.
