“STRANGE ODOR”

IN CALIFORNIA
January 26, 2015
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Employees at the Franchise Tax
Board in Sacramento are back at work after being evacuated over a strange
substance that turned out to be dog poop.
The incident happened at around 10 a.m. Monday in the
mail room of 9464 Butterfield Way when an employee noticed a strange odor
coming from a package. Workers in the mail room were evacuated — about 100
workers in total — and responders from the Sacramento Metro Fire Department and
Sacramento County geared up in hazmat suits to investigate the package.
The all-clear signal was given just before noon.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) is investigating the
origin of the package.
No one was injured in the incident.
