OKLAHOMA CITY -- The offices of Oklahoma's governor and lieutenant governor were temporarily evacuated Monday after a man was seen carrying a suspicious package around 2:00 p.m.
Other workers at the capitol were also evacuated as a precautionary measure.
According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, which provides security at the building, the person was interviewed and the brief case was x-rayed.
It was determined the contents of the brief case did not pose a threat. However, the suspect, 50-year-old John Morgan, was arrested by troopers for attempting to by-pass the capitol security checkpoint.
All normal activities at the state capitol have resumed.
