Ringing package prompts concern

Jacksonville, Fla -- A bomb squad was called to a Florida home Monday after a woman became concerned that a package sent to her by her estranged husband might be a bomb.

Alana Fowler of Jacksonville said she picked the package up from the post office Friday and left the box in her garage, noting she wasn't expecting a package from her soon-to-be ex-husband.

Then Saturday, she heard a ringing sound from the box. Fowler said she waited until Monday to call authorities.

When the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office bomb squad opened the package, they found a cell phone inside.
