Turns Out Medical Devices Can Be Suspicious

A building at Ocean County College (Toms River, NJ) was briefly evacuated Monday after a student reported a package in a trash can was making noise, according to media reports.

In the end, it turned out the package contained a insulin pump that was making beeping, humming, and hissing sounds, local police told Toms River Patch and WOBM radio.

The evacuated of the Kean-Ocean Gateway Building lasted for only about an hour during the afternoon. The evacuation included the Ocean County Sheriff’s K9 squad bringing in bomb-sniffing dogs, WOBM reported.
