Misdirected package for Obama reported to bomb squad

Posted: September 19, 2012 - 2:31pm

Conway police officers and Conway Fire Department bomb squad members responded to a call about a suspicious package around 2 p.m. Tuesday at River Town Bank on Oak Street after an employee discovered a package addressed to President Barack Obama at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with a Conway return address.

Assistant Fire Chief Mike Winter said the bomb squad X-rayed the package and determined that it was safe. 

Winter said that as is protocol for any mail directed to the President, the Secret Service was then contacted for permission to open the package.

With permissions granted, it was discovered that the package contained copies of court documents.

Following an investigation, it was determined that the mailer mistook the bank's mail receptacle for a United States Post Office outgoing mailbox.

Authorities say the package was redirected for delivery to Washington, and there is no further investigation.

Hmmm...

"With permissions granted, it was discovered that the package contained copies of court documents.

Let's see, this person is requesting that the President intervene in a court case he/she is involved in, but can't tell the difference in the mail slot at a business and USPO mailbox.

I'm guessing the judge told this person that he/she didn't have a leg to stand on.

Hmm

Were the court documents from Amanda Bynes?
