LEOMINSTER -- Officials closed off a room in the police station Friday after becoming concerned that there might have been asbestos inside tiles that a maintenance worker was replacing, according to Mayor Dean J. Mazzarella.
"We don't even know if it is asbestos," the mayor said Friday.
The worker replaced the tiles in a room where officers write their reports.
Workers are fixing-up parts of the station as part of an overall effort to refurbish it, Mazzarella said.
Police Chief Peter Roddy told the worker to stop what he was doing after somebody mentioned that there could be asbestos in the tiles, the mayor said.
