| Rush Limbaugh received a suspicious package at his Florida home Thursday that turned out to be harmless. |
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Authorities say a suspicious package sent to Rush Limbaugh's South Florida home was not dangerous or hazardous. Instead, police say the item investigated Thursday turned out to be an
electronic plaque sent by a listener of the radio talk show host's
program as a "business opportunity" for him. It concerned the
assassination of President Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth.
A Palm Beach police spokesman said during a news conference the package
was delivered late Thursday afternoon. When it was screened by an X-ray
device, staff members saw what appeared to be wires and called police.
The Palm Beach Post reports that a sheriff's office bomb squad went to the home to investigate the package. The sender apologized when investigators contacted him.
