PHOENIX — Parts of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office headquarters in downtown Phoenix were temporarily closed off after a suspicious package was seen outside the building on Monday.
12News crews in the area photographed a light blue backpack left on the north side walkway of the 550 West Jackson Street location in Phoenix. The area was closed off for foot traffic and multiple deputies were seen nearby.
Fortunately, MCSO found that it was just an unattended backpack, not something more dangerous, and gave the all clear around 9:40 a.m.
