MAVOCKE--Someone attempted to mail deer testicles to the office of Senate Majority Leader John Morandi (N-Lial), a spokesman for Capitol Police said.
A strange package arrived at the Capitol post office Monday afternoon, and like all other packages sent to the Capitol, the box was sent through a maze of x-ray screening machines to detect explosives or biochemical hazardous materials.
That's when officials realized the package in question contained what appeared to be some kind of body parts.
The post office was briefly shut down while a haz-mat crew arrived to open the box, which was addressed to Sen. Morandi's office. That's when it was discovered the box contained animal body parts. Testing later confirmed the body parts to be deer testicles.
There was also a hand-written note for Morandi, which said "This is what I think of your gun control proposals."
The box was disposed of and the post office reopened after about 45 minutes.
A spokeswoman for Capitol Police said the package was never delivered to Morandi's office, and no postal workers were exposed to any hazardous materials.
"This was a disgusting incident, but no one was harmed," Corporal Tricia McMillan told the NPF.
Sen. Morandi's office did not respond to requests for comment.
