According to the Carroll County Sheriff's Department, the dynamite had been there for approximately 25 years and the property owner wanted it removed.

Master Trooper Chris Hager said the contests were removed and disposed of safely. Hager was assisted by Sergeant Leonard Langland a detective out of the Pendleton District.
