Probably some wiseguy sending a message to the registry folks because they ticked him/her off somehow. Hopefully they didn't lick the envelop when sealing it. This is one the police will follow up on and prosecute, if they can find the person. Video here:
5-7-2009 Virginia:
At about 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, investigators say a worker at the Criminal Information Services Division on the second floor of Virginia State Police headquarters found a white substance inside an envelope.
About 100 workers were evacuated -- and the second floor's ventilation system was shut off. The worker who found the substance and two others were quarantined.
The area was closed for two hours, as hazmat crews tested for radioactive and explosive elements. Those tests came out negative, but the substance was sent to the state lab for further testing.
A spokesperson for Virginia State Police said the envelope containing the white substance also had a routine sex offender registry form inside. Investigators are following up on who sent it.
Investigators say the worker who found the substance and two others showed no signs of illness. They, and those who were evacuated, are to report to work on Thursday.
The state lab should know what the substance is within the next 24 hours. Stay with CBS 6 News for continuous updates. ..News Source.. by WTVR.com
