WASHINGTON -- Traffic was blocked off several streets near the White House
briefly Tuesday evening after a man outside the Treasury Department falsely
claimed to be carrying an explosive, the Secret Service said.

No explosive was found and the man was taken into custody for a mental
evaluation, Secret Service spokeswoman Kim Bruce said. He was not immediately
charged and his identity was withheld pending the outcome of the evaluation.

Bruce said the incident began at 9:45 p.m. when a man told a uniformed Secret
Service officer on 15th Street outside the Treasury, one block east of the
White House, that he had an explosive device in his backpack.
