Some tense moments in a Port Huron south side neighborhood Thursday afternoon. Just before 2:00 pm Port Huron Police received a domestic disturbance call to a home on Peavy Street between 28th and Electric. When authorities arrived, one of the individuals involved said that he had placed an explosive package outside in the neighborhood. As a precaution, first responders began evacuating the surrounding home while the Michigan State Police Bomb Squad made their way to the scene. A package was discovered but no explosives were found in it or the house connected to the event. After the roughly 4 hour ordeal, residents were allowed to return to their homes Thursday evening.
