CINCINNATI -- The bomb squad had to be called out to deal with a suspicious package found along Martin Luther King Drive in Avondale.

Police said that a Metro bus driver alerted them to the package at about 5:15 p.m. Sunday.

Officers said that when they arrived, they could see that something was inside a bag at the scene. They could also tell that it was heavily duct taped.

An explosive detection K-9 unit, as well as the Fire Department and bomb squad were called to the scene.

The bomb unit took X-rays of the bag and saw what appeared to be cans or cylinders but could not determine what was inside.

Police decided to detonate the bag, after which they found what appeared to be feces in the duct-taped cans.

The investigation is still open.
