Terror in Tallahassee (Almost)

Got this from the local Mullet wrapper -

Beer bottle raised suspicions:

A beer bottle caused the evacuation of almost 400 people from Tallahassee's federal building, as well as the clogging of downtown traffic during Tuesday evening drivetime. A security guard found a suspicious package, described as a plastic shopping bag with a heavy object wrapped in a towel, according to Leon County Sheriff's Capt. Harry Chaires. After the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, sheriff's deputies and Big Bend Bomb Disposal Team were called, 370 people inside the building evacuated and parts of Call, Bronough and Duval streets closed, the package turned out to be a quart-sized beer bottle. Chaires said he did not know the kind of beer.
