BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — The Citrus County Sheriff's Office Bomb Team has completed its assessment of a possible bomb near American Aviation in Brooksville and determined it to be inert.
A team from MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa still plans to respond to the scene to help dispose of the bomb.
Law enforcement said it is thought to be a very old Mark 65 bomb, which was used as far back as World War II.
Deputies closed Spring Hill Drive between U.S. 41 (Broad Street) and California Street due to the possible bomb. All roadways are now open to through traffic.
