Why Did An Egg Cause An Evacuation In South Louisiana?

Yes, the cost of eggs are insane and they’re enough to make anyone freak out – but, why did one egg cause an entire street to evacuate in St. Mary Parish?

The St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office said an “unknown possible explosive device” that prompted an evacuation back on Saturday, Jan. 21, was actually an egg, according to WAFB-TV.

The potential threat prompted the evacuation of an entire street in Amelia, Louisiana. Someone had called 911 after seeing the egg, and said it was “unknown possible explosive device” under a house, the swat team came and evacuated the entire neighborhood. Investigators said the home’s owner claimed to have received threats against their life and a video of an object wrapped in a bandana that had been placed under the home.
