Sauk Centre Man Briefly Detained After Stearns Co. Admin. Building Bomb Threat
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A 51-year-old Sauk Centre man was briefly arrested Friday in connection to a bomb threat at the Stearns County Administration Building.
The sheriff's office says a man called 911 just before 4 p.m. to report a possible bomb in a third-floor bathroom. The building was evacuated, and an explosive detection K-9 with the St. Cloud Police Department assisted officers in a sweep of the area. No explosives were located.
The 911 caller later agreed to meet with a Stearns County investigator, and was arrested at about 7 p.m. on suspicion of making threats of violence.
The suspect was later released. The sheriff's office is still investigating.
