IDAHO CITY -- A bomb squad from Boise was called in Wednesday morning after a grenade was found inside a home in Idaho City.
Idaho City Police say a inmate work crew from the Idaho Department of Correction discovered the grenade in the historic Strauss House, which was built in the 1860's.
Montgomery Street was shut down as a precaution, and police requested help from the Boise Police Bomb Squad.
Investigators determined that the grenade was real, but the explosive components had been removed, rendering the device inert.
It's unclear how the grenade ended up in the Strauss House.
