AKRON, Ohio -- A section of the Akron-Canton Regional Airport was evacuated Thursday afternoon after a suspicious package was discovered.

The package was found around 4:50 p.m. behind the U.S. Airway ticket counter.

Officials evacuated about 40 people in that part of the terminal and they were taken to baggage claim.

The Summit County Bomb Squad was called in and determined the package was not a threat. The package was taken as evidence.

Business has since resumed as normal.
