Sugar Mailed to Bratton's Office Sparks White Powder Scare at Police HQ

Commissioner Bill Bratton's office was locked down for an hour Tuesday after an envelope containing sugar was delivered to his office — setting off a white powder scare, DNAinfo New York has learned.

The sugar was sealed inside an envelope that was folded inside another envelope and had been mailed by a Queens woman who believed her roommate spiked her sugar bowl, sources said. She mailed it to Bratton so the NYPD could analyze it to see if the sugar contained any hazardous substances.

The harmless powder sparked a lockdown inside the commissioner's 14th floor office at 2 p.m., sealing off the office and quarantining all employees inside for an hour, sources said.
