Police in Charlotte, N.C., responded to call of a suspicious package outside of a building Tuesday morning only to find the package contained nothing more suspect other than someone still owning a Journey cassette tape.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police responded to call at about 6 a.m. and requested the assistance from the force’s canine and bomb units.
Authorities said an employee at the Duke Energy building found a small package that appeared to be suspicious in nature.

“So, the package was a small, manila envelope, the package was a cassette tape. It was actually a Journey cassette tape,” the spokesperson said.
The suspicious package call comes days after several pipe bombs were mailed to prominent Democrats and other opponents of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Cesar Sayoc, 56, was arrested Friday in connection to the case. None of the bombs detonated and no one was injured.
