Houston police investigate bomb threat made to court

The Houston Municipal Courts Building has returned to normal operations following the report of a bomb threat Tuesday afternoon.

John Cannon, Houston Police Department spokesman, said the call came in at 2:30 p.m.

Jose Soto, a municipal courts spokesman, said some citizens were asked to evacuate several courtrooms and employees were asked to check their work areas for anything out of place.

Building security and staff searched the building and no explosive device was found. Houston police arrived shortly afterward and conducted a second sweep, with the same result. The all-clear was given at 2:45 p.m., Soto said.
