WALLACE — An individual with a Montana phone number called in a bomb threat against the Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office around 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Capt. Seth Green said bomb threats of this nature are different in each case, but because the jail is attached to the building, a lot of extra steps are added in the event an evacuation is required.
“A guy called into Montana law enforcement to specifically say he planted a bomb outside or in our building. A great majority of these aren’t true, but we have to investigate if it’s true because, what if? Instantly it goes into a lot of moving parts all at once,” Green said.
