The lockdown is over at the Paterson Federal Building, according to a spokesman from the Passaic County Sheriff’s Office. Bill Maer says someone spotted a “child’s toy” that looked “dronish” but “was not anything of threat or harm.”
The building had been evacuated out of an abundance of caution, while the county Bomb Squad investigated. The all clear has been sounded, and people are now allowed back inside, he says.
