COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The 41-story James A. Rhodes State Office Tower that houses the Ohio Supreme Court and other state agencies was evacuated Wednesday after dogs detected a scent of explosives in a van at a loading dock, the State Highway Patrol said.

Patrol spokesman Lt. John Born said a male suspect was in custody.

No explosives were immediately found in the van, but the scent was detected three times by a dog, Born said.


The van was parked at a loading dock in the rear of the James A. Rhodes State Office Tower, across the street from the Statehouse.

Gov. Bob Taft was in his office in the 32-story Vern Riffe Center for the Government and the Arts, one block away from the Rhodes tower, said Joe Andrews, Taft's spokesman.

He would not say whether security was increased around the governor.

Police cars cordoned off the street in front of the Rhodes building in the city's downtown.

About 4,000 state employees work in the building. Born said the evacuation.

The building was named after former Gov. James A. Rhodes, a Republican who served four terms. He died last year. The Riffe center is named after former House Speaker Vern Riffe.

... after dogs detected a scent of explosives in a van at a loading dock...

I've always wondered...Do the dogs smell ingredients that can make explosives, i.e. fertilizer...or only explosives that are 'ready to go'..

And gunpowder...If the dog id's gunpowder, is that reported as explosives?

[OldFriend]

And I mention bunny slippers either. This is much to series.

[OldFriend]

Ooops.....I WON'T mention bunny slippers. This is much TOO series.

I know a delivery driver who hated carrying the containers of animal urine used by some hunters to hide their scent on traps, etc. Seems one of the containers leaked!
