Deputies with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office investigated a reported threat at the Douglas County Courthouse and Justice Building which came shortly before the end of the business day late Tuesday afternoon.

Lieutenant Brad O’Dell said out of an abundance of caution and in coordination with county officials, the courthouse and Justice Building were closed early, and all occupants were sent home for the day.

O’Dell said the incident was determined to not be credible and remains under investigation.

Both buildings will reopen Wednesday as usual, and all normal business will resume.

No further information was released by DCSO.
