ST. LOUIS (AP) — A mysterious package addressed to a former senator caused a brief scare when it arrived at a St. Louis TV station, but it only contained a letter and novelty toilet paper.
The package found Tuesday in the mailroom of KSDK-TV, an NBC affiliate, was addressed to former Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.
Fire Capt. Garon Mosby told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch it was deemed suspicious in part because it had heavy tape, no return address and perhaps an odor.
Police evacuated KSDK and cordoned off a block before determining that the package contained only President Donald Trump novelty toilet paper and a letter to McCaskill.
In March, Cesar Sayoc of Florida pleaded guilty to mailing pipe bombs last year to prominent Democrats and other Trump critics.
The all-clear was given around 11 a.m. https://t.co/pOT4FTFbxF
