WEST CHESTER, Ohio, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- A suspicious package delivered to U.S. Rep. John Boehner's West Chester, Ohio, office turned out to be raw bacon, the Butler County Bomb Squad said.

Four people inside the office were evacuated Monday as bomb squad officers examined the grease-stained package, WCPO-TV, Cincinnati, reported Tuesday.

Boehner, a Republican and the House Minority Leader, was not in the office at the time.

The bomb squad did not release the contents of a note found with the raw bacon.
