A probation search at a Pebble Beach home yesterday, led to the discovery of dozens of hand grenades. The Monterey Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad responded after 37-inert military practice hand grenades were found at the Sloat Road home of 48-year old Joe Beverdine. The military contraband was found after a vehicle check conducted on Beverdine’s vehicle Tuesday in the Travel Lodge Motel parking lot, produced an altered practice hand grenade, causing the motel to be evacuated as a result. Beverdine is currently in custody pending trial.
