A suspicious package in a ground floor ladies room at the Allegheny Courthouse prompted a closing of the Grant Street entrance, including an evacuation of Chief Executive Dan Onorato.
The package in question was spotted at about 1:20 P.M.
Bomb-sniffing dogs were immediately called in.
They found…an unattended salad in a paper bag.
I am not making this up.
The alert was lifted an hour later at 2:20 P.M. The other entrances remained open throughout the alert, and courts remained in session.
Onorato was evacuated because his office is directly above that particular ladies room.
Ty Cobb had no comment…
