Sheriff: Suspicious package at Sen. Paul’s home is non-toxic

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky sheriff’s office says a suspicious package sent to the home of U.S. Sen. Rand Paul appears to contain a non-toxic substance. The Kentucky Republican tweeted that he takes any such “threats immensely seriously.” The senator also lashed out at detractors who he says have made him a target on social media. The FBI says it’s providing forensic and technical assistance in the investigation of the package. The Warren County Sheriff’s Office says the package was taken to the local fire department, and a preliminary analysis identified the substance as non-toxic.
