UPDATE: Here’s the device that prompted the evacuation of Community Medical Center yesterday, first report by TLS.

The device had a watch connected to it, apparently to make it look like a timer for the ‘bomb’.

A person of interest has been identified by authorities.

It turned out to be non-explosive and cleared by the NJSP Bomb Squad.

“Thank God everyone was all right,” Mayor Rodrick told TLS. “I want to commend acting Chief Peter Sundeck and Lieutenant Moeller for their leadership on the scene, as well as the members of the Toms River Police department, the Sheriff’s office and the State Police. Again, thank God everyone is safe.”
