MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Police on Wednesday investigated a suspicious package that was left on the corner at Central and Cooper.
Traffic was blocked off on Central, but the road was back open and police had moved off by 4:20.
Bomb Unit officers checked the package, which was left behind a chain-link fence in a parking lot on the northwest corner.
The nearby Railgarten restaurant closed early because of the threat, but owners said they will likely open back up later this evening.
Hard to see, but this is the brown bag police are calling “suspicious.” It was left behind a fence. @3onyourside pic.twitter.com/dtXq0uOmFQ
