The Georgia Bureau of Investigation bomb unit responded to a Rincon address today in response to some suspicious material.
The material was found to be harmless, Rincon Police Chief Phillip Scholl said.
Scholl said the call stemmed from a teenager high on drugs who thought he had made a bomb.
“He had put stuff in a pill bottle,” Scholl said. “In fact the contents weren’t even illegal.”
Officers felt it best to have the material examined by the GBI, Scholl said.
“It was a false alarm,” he said.
The teenager was arrested for possession of a controlled substance.
