The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office was called to help an individual in crisis Thursday afternoon. They then discovered something that looked like a pipe bomb – except that it was not an explosive device.
The incident happened on Soquel Ave. near Staff of Life and closed the road and store for a period of time.
Sheriff’s deputies later reported that when they found the person and pulled him over they located a device they thought could be a pipe bomb.
The bomb team was called to the scene and later determined the device was not explosive.
The Sheriff’s Office says the individual will be receiving additional health services relating to the initial call.
