Gloucester County freeholder's mailbox explodes - New Jersey's Home | News, Weather, Sports | WWORTV | My9

WOOLWICH TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — A Gloucester County official says he woke up Thursday to the sound of his mailbox being "blown to smithereens."

Now, Freeholder Larry Wallace tells the Gloucester County Times (http://bit.ly/S0Sand ) that he's livid but confounded.

The Republican says he is trying to figure out whether the 5:30 a.m. explosion was a prank or someone "trying to send me a message."

He says investigators told him a chemical bomb was used in the blast.
