Suspected bomb was mix tape of love songs from man begging ex-wife to take him back

Concerns in downtown Florence, Alabama, were quickly abated on Thursday afternoon when police discovered a suspicious package contained a mix tape instead of a bomb.

Police said the call about a suspicious package turned out to be a case of mistaken intentions between a recently-divorced couple. Police said they were called out to the Wilson Park Medical Center at around 2:30pm when a woman called about a suspicious package on her vehicle.



Florence Police Chief Ron Tyler said the package was left on a woman's car by her ex-husband. Tyler said the two divorced a couple of months ago and had recently started talking again. The woman told police she received a call from her ex-husband saying he had left a package on her vehicle. The woman became nervous and called police.

Florence police bomb technicians scanned the package and detected electronics inside, Tyler said. When they opened the package, they discovered a cassette of love songs and a note from the man begging his ex-wife to take him back. Tyler said police aren't planning to file any charges.

A mix tape on a Cassette? That bomb was from 1986.

Sandy, I can see you're not familiar with the American South. This is a single word explanation: Alabama.

I shouldn't talk, I'm from Tennessee and we're responsible for Hee-Haw.

But anyway: Alabama.
