The 2nd District Courthouse in Ogden was evacuated for more than than two hours Thursday afternoon due to a bomb threat — the second time this month such a threat has occurred.
The Ogden Police Department tweeted that the latest bomb threat came as a 911 call at 1:11 p.m. Thursday.
Court officials said at 2:30 p.m. that police had given the “all clear” and the courthouse was reopened.
Following a similar threat on the morning of April 5, the same courthouse was evacuated, but operations resumed after police swept the building.
