A suspicious item left outside a Washington, D.C., firehouse prompted a bomb squad response and disrupted morning traffic before police identified it as an adult toy, according to UPI Odd News.
Police were called around 7 a.m. Wednesday to D.C. Fire and EMS Engine 20 on Wisconsin Avenue in the Tenleytown neighborhood after reports of a suspicious electronic device with exposed wires outside the building.
According to the report, the person who left the object had spoken with an employee before tossing it and leaving the area. Traffic in the area was shut down while the police Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit investigated.
A police report later described the item as an “electronic sex portable pump device.” The person who left it outside the station has not been identified.
