FRENCHTOWN TOWNSHIP - A suspicious package left at a doorstep this morning was perceived to be a bomb threat but instead was a 12-pack of beer.

Monroe County sheriff's deputies responded to Josephine Ct. off N. Telegraph Rd. after a man found a brown paper bag with a note attached that read "boom."

Sgt. Brian Angerer said someone knocked on the man's door and fled, leaving the package behind.

"There was a brown paper bag at his feet," Sgt. Angerer said. "He didn't know what it was. With the word "boom," it was presumed to be a bomb threat."

A perimeter was established and a police dog was called to the scene. When it was determined there was no threat, police looked inside the bag and found a cold 12-pack of beer.
