State Police said they have contacted the man who made a threat against Gov. Dannel Malloy.
Members of the governor's staff received a phone call from someone Tuesday who claimed a letter sent to Malloy contained anthrax, according to the State Capitol Police Department.
Authorities provided mail room employees with a description of the letter. The suspected letter, which was addressed to Gov. Malloy, was located and sealed in a clear evidence bag, police said.
An test for hazardous materials was done by the Department of Energy and Environmental protection and the results were negative, according to police. The letter was sent to the State Police laboratory for further testing.
Troopers said the man later confessed the substance was just flour.
Police have not yet identified the suspect, but officials said they are planning to make an arrest soon.
