MILWAUKEE — Law enforcement officials say an anonymous phone call suggesting a threat to the Milwaukee County Courthouse was deemed not credible.
The Clerk of Courts staff received the call Tuesday afternoon that suggested a threat to "the building."
The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office was notified and screening stations were temporarily closed during an initial assessment.
A perimeter sweet was then conducted by deputy sheriffs and their K-9 partners around the Courthouse Complex, the Courthouse, the Safety Building, and the Criminal Justice Facility. The sheriff's office says they all had negative results.
