Sheriff’s Office still investigating Wal-Mart bomb threat

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is still trying to find the person who called Bloomington’s Wal-Mart Supercenter with a bomb threat, said Chief Deputy Scott Mellinger.\nThe threat came in at about 12:30 p.m. June 12, and within about 20 minutes employees and customers were evacuated, he said. The store was searched with bomb-detecting dogs, Mellinger said, and nothing was found. At about 6 p.m. the store reopened, he said.\nBecause Wal-Mart employees didn’t “red flag” the call, Mellinger said the Sheriff’s Office is sifting through about 100 or 200 calls to the store around the time the bomb threat was reported.
