All regular county functions are expected to resume as normal Friday after Washington County officials called for the evacuation of the Courthouse and several adjacent buildings Thursday. Commissioner Chairwoman Diana Irey-Vaughn, in a press conference confirmed that four suspicious packages were delivered to one elected official and three other county offices on Thursday morning. One of those packages was opened and seemed to contain a powder substance. Out of an abundance of caution the person that opened the package was taken to an unnamed hospital. Commissioners immediately evacuated the courthouse, Courthouse Square and Crossroads Commons. The county jail was put on lockdown. Washington County Public Safety was able to perform an initial analysis of the opened package and determined that it did not contain any harmful substances. Another unofficial report indicates that some of those packages may have been delivered to common pleas court judges’ chambers. The incident is under investigation by the FBI and the United States Postal Service Inspector.
