According to the Commonwealth Journal in Somerset, The Pulaski County Court of Justice was evacuated Thursday morning, January 4, 2024 after receiving a report of a potential explosive device in the building.
According to Lt. Stephanie Denney of the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office, who is located at the Judicial Center, the threat came in at about 10:30 a.m.
Denney noted that they were told that multiple explosives had been placed around the state in similar facilities. “So we evacuated the building,” she said, adding that other courthouses that were affected in Kentucky had to do likewise.
No explosive devices were found in the search, and nobody was injured, said Denney. She noted that one officer located in the building went around with KSP and checked everything to eventually give it the all-clear.
