The incident I'm referring to was mentioned in this tweet by the Austin Police Department: https://twitter.com/Austin_Police/status/1782947809072697679. The incident was also reported on by Fox 7 Austin: https://www.fox7austin.com/news/suspicious-package-in-downtown-austin. The incident resulted in I-35 feeder roads being shut down by APD for over an hour.

It is unbelievable that APD has no report or documentation about this event. My goal is to learn what prompted the police response and how the incident was resolved. Please provide any incident report or other documentation would answer my question.
