People may not dig Jared Leto's guylinery rock star look these days, but that's no reason to freak him out with a bomb threat.

The star and his band, 30 Seconds to Mars, had arrived for an appearance in West Hollywood when a man delivered a strange package and rather chilling message about having explosives.

The authorities were contacted, but thankfully it was much ado about nothing.

"The bomb squad was called on a suspicious package at 7700 Melrose Avenue, and when they went there, they just found money in the package," a spokesperson for the LAPD told E! News. "No explosives were found."

A watch commander at the Wilshire division confirms to E! News that they are currently holding someone in relation to the bomb scare on Melrose Ave. but could not reveal the person’s identity, suspected crimes or the amount of their bail.

"There was an individual taken into custody, and they are still in custody," the commander says. "The investigation is ongoing with major crimes.”

The band is not commenting, but a source tells us no one was hurt, nor did anyone in the group, including the My So-Called Lifer, know who the guy was.
