Bomb squad shuts down D.C. street during rush hour — over an adult toy

Authorities shut down a Washington, D.C. road during rush hour on Wednesday as bomb squad investigators raced to investigate a "suspicious device" that turned out to be an X-rated item, according to reports.

A witness said they saw someone place the suspicious item in a trash can at the Tenleytown fire station, The Guardian reported. It was apparently described as a "blue-and-black electronic device" with exposed wires.

After nearly two hours, investigators discovered an "electronic sex portable pump device." They reportedly inspected it and found there was no immediate danger.

Social media sleuths apparently uncovered the toy, or one that appeared similar, called the "Zolo Blowbot," according to The Guardian. The Zolo company website described the product — which sells for more than $300 — as having "adjustable suction levels" and a hygienic "drying function."
