Update: Bridge reopens; 'suspicious package' near Mar-a-Lago was not a hazard, police say

Update: The Southern Boulevard Bridge has reopened after being closed while police investigated a suspicious package near former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club.

Police said in a statement that they received a report of someone trespassing at the club, 1100 S. Ocean Blvd., at 11:20 a.m. and eventually arrested a 53-year-old man on a charge of trespassing after warning.

"Subsequent to that arrest, the Palm Beach Police Department began the process of towing his vehicle, which revealed a suspicious package. We reached out to PBSO for assistance in regards to evaluating the suspicious package, and the package was later determined to not be a hazard," police said.

During this process, portions of the adjacent roadway were closed, the statement said.
