Authorities closed a 3-block stretch of Tucson, Arizona, and evacuated a nearby federal building September 28 after a suspicious vehicle was spotted by U.S. Marshals, police said.
A search of the vehicle, a white box truck, turned up several metal boxes of ammunition and duffel bags filled with clothing, a Tucson police spokeswoman told Reuters.
"There's no indication that there are any explosives inside the vehicle." She said investigators were speaking to a "person of interest" about the truck, and that the man was cooperating with investigators.
He was not taken into custody.
Police later gave the all-clear and opened a major street to traffic, but kept part of the area roped off as they processed the vehicle.
A bomb squad was initially called to the scene at about 11 a.m. local time after U.S. Marshals noticed the truck had been parked for an extended time near a building that houses federal bankruptcy court, the spokesman said.
About 30 people were evacuated from that building.
