MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) ? Montgomery police say a leaking battery forced the evacuation of police headquarters and the city jail. Montgomery Sgt. Regina Duckett said some employees noticed an odd smell about 8 a.m. Saturday and alarms started going off near a room that held a large number of batteries. The batteries were used to power backup generators during a power outage. Crews removed the batteries and ventilated the building, which reopened within a few hours. Police said several people were treated at scene for possible inhalation of the odorous substance, but there were no serious injuries.
