A suspicious-looking package a man received in the mail was inspected Monday night by a bomb squad, which determined it simply was an elaborate wedding invitation, San Diego police said.

The man called 911 as he was driving to a police station to have officers check out the box that he considered suspicious, police said.

A dispatcher told him to pull over and that police would come to him. The bomb squad was sent to his vehicle on Campus Point Drive near Genesee Avenue about 7:20 p.m.

The bomb squad inspected the package and, about two hours later, determined it was a wedding invitation, apparently with some sort of decorations that looked like wires, police said.
