Authorities determined no explosives were found Friday in a suspicious package thrown into the pipeline construction area, but Carlton County Sheriff Kelly Lake said the investigation wasn't over, and that state statutes and federal regulations address the placement of replica devices used to cause fear or panic.
Anyone who sees the vehicle in their community is asked to call 911. Those with additional information regarding the vehicle are encouraged to call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Friday's events prompted the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa's Reservation Business Committee to issue a statement Saturday that said "the incident created widespread public safety concerns" and asked "outside protesters" to respect its sovereign authority.
