The presence of the Sweetwater Bomb Squad and a Wyoming Highway Patrol explosives detection canine are all part of the law enforcement campaign to keep the 2012 National High School Finals Rodeo safe. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that Wyoming Highway Patrol Trooper Joe Scimone (si-mone) of Cheyenne and Lily, his 5-year-old bomb detection dog, a very eager and friendly black Labrador, have been teaming with Bomb Squad officers at the rodeo, checking the grandstands and other areas.
The security sweeps paid off on Monday, when Bomb Squad technicians found an unexploded firework classified as a black powder “consumer aerial display” device about the size of a golf ball.
Blust says the grounds are patrolled around the clock, and as of Tuesday afternoon there had not been a single arrest made connected with the rodeo.
