From the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office:

On Tuesday, September 22, 2015 at approximately 5:55 p.m. the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a citizen stating there was a suspicious duffle bag at the Blue Lake Post Office. The reporting citizen stated they were told by an unknown person the bag possibly contained a bomb. The Sheriff’s Office Explosive Ordnance Disposal team was called to respond to the scene.

Sheriff’s Deputies, with the assistance of the Blue Lake Fire Department, closed the road around the post office while the EOD team examined the duffle bag.

After EOD deputies closely examined the duffle bag they found it contained only clothing.
