State Office Tower Evacuated in Ohio Capital After Dog Detects Scent of Explosives

COLUMBUS, Ohio Sept. 11 - A 41-story state office tower that houses the Ohio Supreme Court was
evacuated Wednesday after dogs detected a scent of explosives in a van at a loading dock, the State Highway
Patrol said.

Patrol spokesman Lt. John Born said a man was in custody.

No explosives were immediately found in the van, but the scent was detected three times by a
dog, Born said.

The van was parked at a loading dock in the rear of the James A. Rhodes State Office Tower,
across the street from the Statehouse.

About 4,000 state employees work in the building, which houses various agencies as well as
the high court. Police cars cordoned off the street in front.

Gov. Bob Taft was in his office in another state building a block away from the Rhodes tower,
said Joe Andrews, Taft's spokesman.

He would not say whether security was increased around the governor.
