Grand Forks “Suspicious Backpack” a Thrown Away Gift from Military Friend

The Grand Forks police bomb squad analyzed a suspicious backpack but determined it was not dangerous.

Someone reported to police last night that a backpack marked with the words “Danger, Stay Back” was lying on the ground of a parking lot.

The owner came forward and told police he had attached the label to his backpack during his time in the military.

He had given it to a friend, who had just thrown it out.
