Man Detained after Explosives Found at Oshkosh Hospital

A
39-year-old man has been detained after explosives were found at a hospital in
Oshkosh. Police were called to the Ascension Northeast Wisconsin Mercy Campus on
Oakwood Road around 2:20 AM Wednesday for a report that an explosive device had
been located in an individual’s property. Officers arrived on scene and later discovered
a second explosive device in their property. The Brown and Outagamie Bomb Squad
responded to the scene and removed the explosives from the area. A search of
the suspect’s car and Oshkosh home did not lead to any more explosives being
found. The man is not an employee of the hospital, and no threats were made
during the incident. Police say the public is not in any danger and that nobody
was injured in the incident. Anyone with information is asked to Oshkosh Police
Detective Hinke at 920-236-5703.
