Hanging Dummy Of Obama Halts Traffic (VIDEO)

A dummy hanging from a bridge with the likeness of President Barack Obama brought traffic on I-70 in Missouri to a brief halt today. The highway department, Jackson County Sheriff’s Department and a bomb squad removed the effigy while they worked to determine whether there was any bomb threat.

The dummy was removed using a robot and it was discovered that there was no threat of a bomb.

“The item that we had, we thought possibly could have been explosive, so we went ahead and shut down I-70 is both directions to ensure that if it was explosive there was nothing that was going to cause a hazard to any passerbys, and once we removed that from the scene we opened up I-70 almost immediately,” Sgt. Ronda Montgomery said.
