NEVADA – A hazmat situation in the south Reno area has prompted the involvement of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The incident unfolded at 980 Sandhill Road around 9:00 a.m. on Friday, drawing the attention of the Reno Fire Department.
Authorities from the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office deployed a robot to examine a suspicious item found at the scene. The item in question appeared to be a small yellow cup containing a white powder. As a precaution, the area near the Creekside Corporate Center was marked with a cardboard sign, bearing inscriptions related to the FBI, Illuminati, Free Masons, and “Kingsmen Criminals.” The sign contained a cryptic message, claiming the delivery of an “Illuminati Bio Poison” and accusing these organizations of breaking the law.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing, with local authorities coordinating with the FBI to ensure public safety and ascertain the nature of the situation.
