The cheesiest crime ever

Think about a block of plastic explosive. Now think about a package of string cheese. When you get right down to it, they look rather similar, right? At least that's what Centerville police want you to think. 

Around 3 p.m. Saturday, Centerville police and units from South Davis Metro Fire responded to a phone call advising the Davis County Sheriff's Office that a bomb had been placed inside the grocery store at 350 E. Pages Lane.

The store was evacuated shortly after the call came in. During the evacuation, a Dick's employee reported seeing a cylindrical device wrapped in duct tape near a cooler of dry ice.

Additional units from area police departments were called in to assist with traffic control and the evacuation of Dick's and nearby businesses.

Centerville police Lt. Paul Child said the businesses remained closed for about two hours while bomb-sniffing dogs and a bomb technician checked the building and determined it was safe.

The cylindrical device the employee saw turned out to be a piece of string cheese wrapped in duct tape, made to resemble a bomb.

The secret mozzarella threat to our country.
