A Huntingburg man has been arrested while police investigated a suspicious package.
Last night, Detectives with the Huntingburg Police Department were investigating Market Street when they received an anonymous tip about a man fitting the description of a picture put out by the police department on social media. The social media post asked the public for information regarding suspicious packages being found around Huntingburg and a man being seen in the area. The anonymous tipper believed the man in the picture was 35-year-old Jordan Brown of Huntingburg.
