Police Say Fired Employee Left Suspicious Package Outside Midtown Building

ATLANTA, GA -- The man who left a package outside a Midtown office building Tuesday morning -- which tied up traffic in the area for hours while police investigated -- has been arrested.

Scott Clayton, who had been fired by Streamline Health previously and then made threats via social media, left the package outside the Promenade office building, police have told WSB-TV.

The package was reported to police as being suspicious, causing law enforcement agencies to block a portion of 15th Street and Peachtree while a bomb squad was brought it.

The package turned out to be a printer.

Police say they have video of Clayton leaving the package outside the building around 3 am Tuesday morning.

After being fired, Clayton was told by company officials not to return to the building. Management also told employees to be alert in the event Clayton tried to follow anyone back into the company offices.
