It could have been a barbecue in the making … or something else altogether.
On Thursday, April 30 at about 2:25 p.m., a person walking along a path at the Osamequin Bird Sanctuary in the northern part of Barrington called 911 after finding a knife at one of the picnic tables.
The walker told police that there was a large kitchen knife at the picnic table, as well as a large raw pork roast and some old carrots. The caller also told police that there was some trash scattered about on the ground next to the table.
Police officers responded to the bird sanctuary and seized the knife. Officers decided to leave the pork roast and carrots.
