MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee County Jail inmate sent a suspicious white substance – since determined to be sugar – to the district attorney, sparking a hazmat scare on Monday. FOX6 News went behind the scenes with the team that investigates such scares and keeps you safe.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern told WISN 12 News a staffer opened a certified letter and discovered it had white powder in it.

DA-elect Kent Lovern said a staff member of the office opened a piece of mail containing a white substance, but there were no reports of any being sickened.

The chase started at about 8:10 p.m. Monday on I-94 and W. Clayton Crest Ave. when officers noticed a vehicle wanted in connection to a homicide investigation.

Milwaukee police say a chase Monday night ended with the arrest of a homicide suspect. It is especially surprising that one of the first federal agencies to come under scrutiny from the incoming administration is one that has returned billions of dollars to many of the same consumers who were counting on leaders in Washington to look out for their wallets.
