 There was quite a scene in Clermont County this weekend when a man finds explosives in his backyard. The discovery was made on Sunday on East Cherry Street. 
 
 
 
 37 year old Adrian Ayers was digging a hole in his backyard to bury a family pet when he unearthed a metal box containing bullets and C-4 explosive material. 
 
 
 
 The bomb squad was called to the home and everyone within two city blocks was evacuated, including homes on High St., Grove St., Wright St., Broadway St., Cherry St., Brown St., Fancy St., and Main Street. 
 
 
 
 The Bomb Squad from the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office was called to the scene and determined the material to be five ¼ sticks of TNT. The Bomb Squad removed the material from the scene and transported it to Hamilton County where it will be rendered safe. 
 

– Adrian Ayers was just trying to bury his cat yesterday when he found something that triggered a neighborhood evacuation. The 37-year-old Ohio man hit on a metal box full of bullets and what he thought was C-4, WKRC 12 reports. Police evacuated two city blocks, going door to door to tell residents to clear out, according the Wilmington News Journal. A sheriff’s office bomb squad later determined the explosives to be five three-quarter sticks of TNT. There’s still no word on how or why it wound up in Ayers’ backyard.
