Overseas meth sent to US election building shuts down office for hours
Fox News
The Dutchess County Board of Elections office shut down for hours Monday over a suspicious package from Europe containing crystal meth, according to a press release.
"It came in through UPS from Greece. Prior to Greece, the inner envelope had been around a few other countries as well including France and then UPS’ed to the Dutchess County Board of Elections," Republican Elections Commissioner Erik Haight told the MidHudson News. "The FBI is involved and I know they will be working with the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office and State Police to determine who sent this to us and why."
A bipartisan team of BOE employees flagged the suspicious package to commissioners, with the team then donning personal protective equipment to further investigate the package before calling law enforcement. The Dutchess County Hazmat team ultimately responded to the scene, according to a press release from the county’s board of elections.
