NORFOLK - A suspicious-looking package caused a Norfolk motel to be evacuated and traffic to be blocked Friday night.

Norfolk officials said the package initially appeared to be a bomb found in a laundry room at the Super 8 Motel on Shore Drive. The police fire bomb squad determined it was not an explosive device late Friday.

Officer Chris Amos, a police spokesman, said the package was fashioned together with cellophane, wire and woods to give the appearance of a bomb.

Motel guests were evacuated and traffic lanes in both directions of the 7900 block of Shore Drive were closed from about 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Suspicious package found at a Norfolk hotel

A suspicious package forced people from two hotels and a nearby mobile home park.

Friday night, Norfolk police say a man found - what looked like - a real bomb in one of the hotel rooms.

Carl Imel and his son Ashley were clearing some bags out of room inside the Super 8 Motel on Shore Drive when they made an interesting discovery. They found a suit case resembling a bomb. "We put it on the cart and we put the brief case on there...then it popped and I'm like oh no we got a problem," explains Carl. That's when they decided to have police officers take a look at the package.

And that's when police prompted an evacuation, not only in the Super 8, but also in the Days Inn and a nearby mobile home park.

1. Terror terror terror terror terror just watch CNN

Just turned on TV to get the weather channel and find....CNN showing terror alert in NYC..not verified ....not verified....but but but NY police have been placed on duty to check everything in sight with a hand held radio active device.

This bullshit has got to stop...this is outrageous...this white house at rove's instigation is using our security police for their asinine benefit. Someone should just start kicking ass--- starting with our democratic leaders getting on TV and telling the public that we are getting tired of this administration crying wolf...wolf......wolf.

If the wolf should show up we will all be immune because rove has had his henchmen at the republican owned media kissing his butt over and over...that S.O.B. should be locked up permanently in one of cheney's undisclosed locations.
