This morning around 9 am the county was notified that there is a white substance on the door and entrance to the Court Clerk’s entrance of the County Courthouse, located at the 421 I Street. County Public Health is on site and has performed field tests and ruled out most common threats, including biological and chemical agents. Staff is taking samples of the material to an out of area lab for further testing. There was no indication of criminal activity or threats on the facility. Staff has also contacted the FBI, who has approved initiation of clean-up of the material.
Out of an abundance of caution the public entrance to the Court Clerk’s office has been closed. All other functions of the courthouse remain open. We will provide more updates when more information becomes available.

Please do not let CNN get ahold of this story! Trump will undoubtedly be accused of using powder instead of pipe bombs.

Yes, the buck stops there!
Probably some homeless person just trying to take care of their swamp ass with baby powder.
I knew that baby powder worked good for gator butt, bedbugs, and pin worms. But not swamp ass. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! Thanks, I’ll remember that!
It also gives you cancer. Johnson and Johnson have paid many people now, many millions for the cancer it causes.
Science says no it does not. Gullible juries say yes it does.
I’ll be so glad when elections are over.
On the 12th day of elections, the crazies gave to me:
