 BERRYVILLE, Ark. -- A county courthouse was evacuated Thursday after officials said they found a possible explosive device -- one brought in by an attorney. Officials said the item brought into the Carroll County Courthouse in Berryville was an undetonated firecracker that Cindy Baker intended to enter as evidence in a trial. Sheriff Chuck Medford said a member of the Springdale bomb squad happened to be in the courtroom. The officer viewed the device and ordered an evacuation. Subsequently, the entire Springdale bomb squad was called to detonate the possible explosive object. Medford said the device did not explode, and it appeared to be what he calls a "conventional explosive device." Pending an investigation, officials said, at this point, no charges have been filed against Baker. ATF agents are on their way to Berryville to investigate the incident.
