The Madison Police Department issued the following statement:
Bomb Threat at Wal-Mart Parking Lot
On Monday, November 7, 2016, at
approximately 8:20 AM, the Madison Police Department received a call from the
Madison County Sheriff’s Office advising of information they had obtained from
an individual who had telephoned the sheriff’s office and advised he was located
in the parking lot of the Madison Wal-Mart and that he and his vehicle were
laced with explosives. The vehicle was
described as a 4-door Gold Saturn sedan.
Police Officers were immediately
dispatched to the scene and arrived at 8:22 AM.
Immediately upon their arrival the individual in question was observed
standing next to the vehicle. The
individual approached the officers with his hands raised. The officers were able to determine that the
subject did not have explosives on his person and took him into custody without
incident.
The north parking lot of the
Wal-Mart Shopping Center was evacuated and a security perimeter was established
around the suspect vehicle.
Additionally, a portion of Grandview Boulevard was closed. Federal law enforcement resources were
contacted as well as the Clinton Police Department Bomb Squad. At approximately 10:00 AM the Clinton Police
Department Bomb Squad arrived on the scene and began an assessment of the
suspect vehicle. Using robotic and other
equipment the Bomb Squad was able to determine that the vehicle was safe at
10:53 AM. No explosives were found.
The subject taken into custody has
been placed under mental evaluation as mental health and/or substance abuse
issues may be a factor in this event. If
criminal charges are brought against the individual he will be identified at
that time.
The Madison Police Department thanks
the first responders who participated in the safe and successful conclusion of
this event. These agencies included the
F.B.I., the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Clinton Police Department, the
Mississippi Department of Corrections, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, the
Madison Fire Department, and Pafford EMS.
