KENTUCKY...
Explosions that were mainly low level noisemakers rather than destructive have occured in Pikeville. Emergency vehicles centered their response at the City Park where one of the explosions happened. A worker near the park commented, "I've been in Pikeville three years and this is the first I've ever heard of anything like that happening, we don't have lots of noise, not lots of stuff going on. Always quiet". Three other explosions yesterday afternoon kept Pikeville Police busy. A second device was detonated at the Pike County Courthouse, a third in the downtown area in a mailbox. Investigators believe they have several suspects identified and all evidence will be turned over to prosecutors for possible legal action. The suspects could face a criminal charge of possesion of a destructive device which is a class D felony.
