The Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad is investigating some suspicious devices placed on a Walworth County property Tuesday by a man arrested earlier for reckless driving.

Bloomfield Police say they responded along with the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office and the Lake Geneva Police Department to the 2000 block of County H on the report of a disorderly male subject just after 5:30 p.m.

A 46-year-old man was operating a vehicle recklessly in a gravel parking lot, and was taken into custody without incident.

Officers later learned the man had placed or thrown suspicious devices around the property.

As a precautionary measure County H in Walworth County is closed between White Pigeon Road and Highway 120 and Highway 120 is closed from Highway H to Westside Road while officers work to document and collect evidence.
