Missouri: Army EOD destroys second military ordinance at Jones Co. recycling center

A Jones County recycling plant was locked down Friday as federal agents destroyed an “explosive device” found days after an employee lost his life in the Aug. 4 explosion.

According to Jones County Sheriff Joe Berlin, A United States Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team from Fort Polk, La., arrived around 4:30 p.m. at Jarrell Recycling in Ellisville “to investigate the munition, render it safe and search for any other ordinance at the site.”

Berlin said the explosive was described as a “potentially military ordnance device.”
