It sounds to me like an honest person who just wanted the package to go to its rightful owner. Ive personally had my packages mis-delivered and instead of the person reporting it to the postal service or law enforcement, they decided to open and keep the contents for themselves. I found this out only after I went to the post office and asked where my package was, they then determined that it was mis-delivered to a neighbor. However, a note requesting delivery to another country should have been a RED FLAG! Sounds fishy to me.

1, If you think something might blow up, don’t pick it up! Call the ESCO!
2. Pictures are fine, but they generate a spark, which can possibly set off a bomb, if it is set up that way.
3. If something is suspicious, call 436-9620, which is dispatch at ESCO. They will send someone or tell you what to do.

“Continue to report suspicious packages to law enforcement and perhaps also to the Naval Air Station bomb squad in Pensacola, FL.”

A: There is no bomb squad a NAS Pensacola, the nearest one is Eglin AFB.
B: Military can only respond to something like this at the request of civilian law enforcement, ever hear of something called posse comitatus?

So the package is “suspicious” Why would the person pick it up and carry it to the office if they were concerned about its contents??

Does not make any logical sense at all.

The U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security has warned citizens that there will be trial runs of activities to gauge how American citizens respond. We are notorious for putting such things into public media, like this incident, and telling all the details. Would-be terrorists will then use responses to improve the success of their future clandestine activities. Continue to report suspicious packages to law enforcement and perhaps also to the Naval Air Station bomb squad in Pensacola, FL.

I think I’d take step back, take pictures of it with a zoom lens, then call the police and ask them what they want done with the pics and package.

True….But if a package was at my door with the label saying to mail it to the Ukraine. I would take the package or report it to police also.

I mean if you got a package a you thought it might blow up, wouldn’t you leave it where you found if and call someone.

A man received a package to his house, and just because his name was not on it, he took it to the Sheriff’s office. That sounds fishy to me. Sounds like he did it just to scare everyone at the Sheriff’s office.
