A restaurant was evacuated and the bomb squad called in when a Florida magnet fisher accidentally snagged what he believed to be a grenade, put it in his girlfriend’s trunk and drove to a nearby Taco Bell.

The Ocala Police department warned the public to steer clear of the Taco Bell on East Silver Springs Boulevard where Saturday evening diners were beginning to gather.
