The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) confirmed it visited Republican State Senate President Karen Fann’s office on May 19 to investigate reports of a suspicious package with an unidentified substance inside.

The state agency’s spokesman, Sergeant Jimmy Chavez, said DPS “responded to the Arizona State Senate in response to a suspicious package call.” The package was then taken by the agency’s hazardous materials union before it was submitted to the state crime lab to investigate its contents.
