The city of Princeton had to deal with two bomb scares in the same afternoon yesterday. The first came when school buses were rerouted after a possible bomb was discovered in the 300 block of W. Brumfield.  Princeton PD enlisted the help of Evansville Police and their bomb squad robot.   An object was pulled from the dumpster by  the robot and it was found to not be a bomb. The second happened at Maple Cemetery. People walking their dog found a bunch of M-80 fireworks wrapped together instead of a bomb.  Reports say that police have talked with a person who made the package in the dumpster, and are still investigating the Maple Hill Cemetery devices.
