PARSONS — Three people were arrested in Parsons last week for planting an improvised explosive device.
It’s the third bomb in three months discovered in town, according to The Morning Sun, Pittsburg’s newspaper.
Labette County officers arrested Holly R. Vanwinkle, Daniel L. Mitchell and Randall D. Baer. Vanwinkle and Mitchell, who both had active warrants, were placed under arrest, according to the sheriff’s office.
Last week’s incident follows discoveries of IEDs on Sept. 15 and another on Aug. 15, also in Parsons. A James D. Sutton was arrested for August incident when a bomb was allegedly detonated in the dumpster at the Labette County Judicial Center in Parsons.
It is not known whether there is any connection between the three cases.
