Two weeks ago, police detonated another suspicious package at the same address. "There is a history of domestic situations here so it was left by one of the people involved in that," says Sgt. J.P. Anguino.

"From what I hear from neighbors, it's a psycho boyfriend. He's been throwing nails in her driveway and stalking her," one neighbor said. Before getting close, police x-rayed the package with a robot.

Police picked up the man involved in the other disputes here for questioning. And then, just before eleven, police blew up the package. They say it was full of what they called personal affects. 13 News later learned the package contained compact discs and slippers.
