DATELINE - Flagler County FL

Louis Branson was driving his pickup truck with an expired license plate. Oh well, that sort of thing can happen. But that's not the bizarre part of the story.

Louis had a passenger with him. Sort of, at least. A full-size clown mannequin was next to him in the cab. But THAT'S not the bizarre part of the story, either.

When police pulled Louis over because of the expired plates, what they found in the back of the truck required the assistance of an explosive disposal unit.

Here's the bodycam footage from the officer who found the grenade. Talk about staying cool in a tense situation!
