Green Bay Police Captain, secretary back at on the jobSubmitted: 08/23/2017
GREEN BAY - A Green Bay Police captain and a secretary sickened after opening a suspicious envelope have returned to work.

The Police Department headquarters was evacuated Monday afternoon when the workers became ill.

The workers were released from a hospital Monday night and returned to work Tuesday.

Police Chief Andrew Smith says the envelope appeared to have come from out of state and was addressed to a nonexistent officer.

Tests are scheduled to determine what was in it.

The FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service are helping with the investigation.
