Could You Please Pass The Jelly. . .

Just when you thought it was safe to walk the streets again. . .this happens. . .

From The Clarion-Ledger:

A suspicious package that caused a stir in Hazlehurst on Tuesday turned out to be a jar of jelly.

The FBI, bomb squads and several other law enforcement agencies responded to the vehicle of a local public defender who discovered the package on the front seat of his car.Bass described the package as a paper towel wrapped around a cylinder, duct-taped and placed in a plastic bag.

Around 3 p.m., M.A. Bass called police, and an officer with the Hazlehurst Police Department responded.

"The officer said he really didn't know what it was and thought it looked suspicious," Bass said.

Nearly four hours later, FBI and Clinton Police Department bomb technicians determined the package to be jelly.

"It was mayhaw jelly," Bass said.

Jelly bombs, the new WMD.
