(BOISE) – The Idaho Capitol building was evacuated Wednesday after suspicious envelope was found containing white powder. Gov. Butch Otter and U.S. Congressman Raul Labrador were both in the building at the time of the evacuation around 11 a.m. The Idaho Department of Administration confirmed that there was also a bomb threat reported at the Idaho Statehouse. Police dogs were unable to find any evidence of an explosive device. FBI officials say the white powder was tested and was found to be non-toxic.
