Authorities say a suspicious object found outside an East Los Angeles courthouse was not a bomb.
The device was removed Monday by a bomb squad robot.
Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. David Infante says the courthouse had not yet opened when the box-like object was first spotted.
He says he doesn't know what the object was, but it was determined to be non-explosive and the all-clear was given after about two hours.
