Is that anywhere near Ft Myers?
RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Authorities evacuated a four-block area around the Port of Palm Beach and shut down nearby roads and waterways following a terror threat that turned out to be a false alarm.
Mayor Michael Brown said police officers stopped a car with two men who were leaving the port on Wednesday. Police believed at first that one of the men was on a national terrorist watch list.
As a result, authorities evacuated nearby homes, businesses and a Boys and Girls club, limited road and boat traffic and began searching containers at the port. A gambling cruise ship, the Palm Beach Princess, was not allowed to dock in time and told to stay about five miles offshore, WPTV reported.
Authorities soon determined the alarm was caused by mistaken identity and began reopening the area about 5 p.m., WPTV reported.
