Summary Bottle was shaped like a "pineapple" hand grenade and was in a woman's suitcase
CINCINNATI (AP) — A suspicious item that prompted a Cincinnati courthouse evacuation turned out to be a perfume bottle shaped like a World War II grenade.
Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil told reporters that the bottle was shaped like a "pineapple" hand grenade and was in a woman s suitcase.
The building was evacuated around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday and then closed for the rest of the day after a suspicious item was noted in a security screening.
Sheriff s official Jim Knapp said earlier that something "didn t look right" in the screening. A bomb-sniffing dog was brought over, and authorities evacuated the courthouse based on its response.
Neil says that he isn t sure what prompted the dog s response. He says no charges are expected.
