Bomb threat empties Walhalla apartments
A suspect fled on foot as the Walhalla police learned of a potential bomb threat Saturday at the Highland Glen Apartments off E. Main Street. The police evacuated the apartment residents, but a search of the complex found no explosive and the apartment residents were allowed to re-occupy their units. The Walhalla police responded around 8:30 pm to what they were told was a domestic disturbance. The city police received assistance from the bomb squad of the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office and the Oconee Sheriff’s Office Explosive Detection K-9. The police say there’s no evidence of danger to the public, but they continue to investigate.
