Boise (670 KBOI News) – Not many details are known at this time, but the Boise Town Square Mall is open again after a brief evacuation earlier this afternoon.

According to a Tweet from the BPD, the evacuation was in response to concerns over a man who was wearing military-style web gear with wires sticking out, over a white coat. The wires later proved to be cell phone charging cables.

Officers talked with the man and determined that the situation was safe. The mall was reopened…no word on whether the man was asked to leave.

We’ll bring you more information as it comes available.
