Deputies responded to a bomb threat at UPS, turns out it was tequila
Customers and staff experienced a real scare after a shipment was reported as an explosive, but turned out to be tequila.

SPRING, Texas (KTRK) -- The bomb squad was suited up and ready to go after a scare at a UPS store in Spring Monday evening.



The Harris County Sheriff's Office Bomb Unit responded to the store located at 4008 Louetta Rd.



What workers thought were explosives in several shipments turned out to be extremely expensive Tequila bottles.



Interestingly enough, the scare happened on National Tequila Day.



Although liquor is not illegal to ship, there are strict requirements. It's unclear if anybody did anything wrong, but Monday evening's scare was very real.
