There were some tense moments today after a suspicious package was discovered in Floyd County.

It all happened shortly before noon when an employee of the IRS Office in Prestonsburg checked the mail, finding a suspicious package. The package, which appeared to be postmarked from another country, was taken to Archer Park while law enforcement as well as Floyd and Pike County Emergency Management Offices investigated.
