Saint James Post Office Clear of Anthrax

One might have wondered if law enforcement was targeting the homeless Tuesday morning, as people were cleared from Saint James Park. One would have been wrong in that assumption.

According to reports, emergency personnel were responding to a package covered in white powder at Saint James Park Post Office on North First Street. The area was cleared for safety and post office eventually reopened after authorities learned the substance was not anthrax or another chemical weapon but an herbal remedy from Taiwan, ordered by a man for his child.

The post office reopened by 11am but not before two employees were “decontaminated” after reporting sore throats and headaches. Luckily, the symptoms were merely psychosomatic.
