Businesses in and adjacent to The Commons Shopping Center at Sherwood Way and Arden Road were inaccessible for about 3½ hours Tuesday as law enforcement officials investigated a suspicious package left in the parking lot. It was a hard-shelled plastic container and a bomb-sniffing dog from Goodfellow Air Force Base and the Abilene Police Department's bomb squad, the closest such operation to San Angelo, were summoned. No explosives were found. Fire Marshal Ross Coleman said they hated having to disrupt those businesses, but--quote--"In the wake of recent events in Boston and West, Texas, it's a simple matter of protecting the public."
