The field is located behind Powell Middle School, and is also used by the high school teams.

School officials say a middle school teacher who is also an assistant soccer coach spotted the tire tracks marring the green grass of the field Monday morning.

KPD: Hand grenade found outside Walmart on Clinton Hwy.

Submitted by WBIR Web Staff on Monday, July 21st, 3:57 pm

(WBIR) Knoxville police say a hand grenade found outside the Walmart on Clinton Highway Monday morning was an "outdated" device that could have come from the Wold War II era.

A mowing crew discovered the grenade in the grass near the tire and lube center and called police at about 9 a.m.

Darrell DeBusk, with the Knoxville Police Department, said the grenade initially appeared to be live. It contained an unknown substance, but experts weren't able to determine if it was inert.
