Department of Corrections building in Carson City evacuated after suspicious mail found
Investigators evacuated a building off of the Stewart Complex in the 5000 block of Snyder Avenue in Carson City Wednesday after a suspicious envelope or package with white powder was mailed to the facility.
The two story Building 17 is used by the Nevada Department of Corrections. Carson City Fire Chief Stacey Giomi said the fire department and law officers were called to the complex at around 10:50 a.m.
The package envelope was being tested to make sure there isn't a lethal substance inside, said Giomi.
