JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Some Downtown Jacksonville streets were closed off by officers with the Sheriff’s Office on Thursday night due to an investigation.
The streets included Forsyth and Adams streets from Hogan to Laura streets.
A photo from a viewer appeared to show JSO’s defusal robot and some packages near a parking meter outside Gili’s Kitchen, which is on Adams Street.
A viewer just sent me this picture of what appears to be a member of JSO’s bomb squad near a parking meter. Looks like there are boxes wrapped in Christmas paper. @wjxt4 pic.twitter.com/QNDlZuhdpf
