PHOENIX (AZFamily)<\/b> \u2014 A package that forced the evacuation of the Arizona Supreme Court Building in early January was found not to contain explosive material, according to the Department of Public Safety. <\/p>\n

This is despite initial testing on what DPS described as \u201cmultiple vials\u201d found in the package, which found the presence of an explosive. <\/p>\n

The building was evacuated on Jan. 6 when the state court building in downtown Phoenix received a suspicious package in the mailroom.<\/p>\n

Arizona\u2019s Family Investigates<\/i> reviewed a copy of a report by the Phoenix Police Department Bomb Squad that shows initial testing by the Arizona Department of Public Safety indicated the presence of Hexamethylene triperoxide diamine, commonly referred to as HMTD.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is a explosive compound that is manufactured, homemade sometimes,\u201d said Former ATF Investigator Anthony May.<\/p>\n

However, DPS officials said Thursday, further testing found no evidence of explosives in the package. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I worked for ATF, we had the material to do some field testing. And we all knew that, okay, what this test is going to tell me is just to protect me at this moment in time,\u201d explains May. \u201cIt\u2019s not saying that the first responders, when they initially reacted to the field testing as an explosive, did the wrong thing. In fact, they did the right thing. It\u2019s just that as they follow up an investigation, the laboratory analysis said something different, and that\u2019s what they have to go with.\u201d<\/p>\n

DPS officials described the package as containing an \u201cillegible letter\u201d believed to have been written by a man in Florida.<\/p>\n

DPS said since they were not able to locate the man and no explosives were found, the case was closed.<\/p>\n

Teams from the Phoenix Police Bomb Squad and the FBI took the package to the city\u2019s bomb squad explosive disposal range, according to the police department\u2019s report.<\/p>\n
