The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office (SLCSO) deployed its Bomb Disposal Team to the Treasure Coast International Airport for reports of a suspicious package.
SLCSO says that a suspicious package and vehicle were reported.
Lieutenant Andrew Blanca, director of communications for the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office, told WPTV that a man arrived at the airport complaining about low-flying aircraft and left a bag in the building of the old fire station near the airport entrance.
The man then attempted to enter the base of the tower unsuccessfully. An airport employee called it in. The bomb squad investigated and found no explosives.
The man is in custody for a mental health evaluation. The incident caused the area to be secured, but airport operations resumed after the bomb team declared the area safe.
They say the building in question is part of the airport and was previously a substation for the sheriff's office.
