Suspicious Powder Found In Rural Mailboxes

POSTED: 6:07 am MST February 20, 2004

PENROSE, Colo. -- A powder found in a number of rural mailboxes near Penrose is being examined, law enforcement officials said.

The powder was found Thursday morning in four mailboxes at one intersection and four more along another rural road, the Fremont County sheriff's office said.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Samantha McCalla said samples were collected and a lab is trying to determine what the powder is.

Penrose volunteer firefighters had help from the Canon City fire department's hazardous materials team in cleaning up the powder.

Officials said they aren't aware of threats that could be connected to the mailbox powder.
