SARASOTA, Fla. — People at Sarasota City Hall were evacuated from the building at around 2 p.m. Tuesday due to a "suspicious package."
Sarasota Police Department said city hall received an envelope in the finance department addressed to the department head before everyone was forced out of the building.
During the evacuation, 2nd Street near the building was closed off but 1st Street remained open.
After an investigation, the Explosive Materials Unit determined the envelope was not a threat and people were allowed back into the building just before 4 p.m.
Police did not provide details on what the package turned out to be.
