If you’ve noticed more people wandering around glued to their smartphones – it’s likely due to the new Pokemon Go! App. It’s an augmented reality game where players search real world places to find Pokemon on their phones. Benton County Minnesota Sheriff Troy Heck says it’s a fun game for many, but people need to pay attention to their surroundings and never play while driving

 

Heck says some players have been hurt because they were paying too much attention to their phone screen and not enough attention to where they were going.
