BEND, OR -- A suspicious package led to the evacuation of the Deschutes County Services building in downtown Bend on Tuesday. "It was about 12 o'clock," says Deschutes County Sheriff's Lt. Bryan Husband, "An employee here at the Deschutes County building noticed a suspicious package in front of the DHS office." 

The package was next to the door into the Department of Human Services, but County Elections and Board of County Commissioners offices are also in the building at 1300 NW Wall Street. 

Lt. Husband says this was a typical response for a government building, including the deployment of the State Police bomb squad. "We cordoned off the area," he says, "Removed people from the immediate area, Oregon State Police inspected the package further and deemed it not to be a threat."

In fact, they later determined it was a package of hygiene products. No word on who left the items at the door. 

The area reopened after about 90 minutes.
