Louisville Police Department indicates that a bomb threat was received by Fred's Department Store on S. Church around 2 pm this afternoon (Jan 25th). The store has been evacuated of customers and a search by a canine unit from Meridian is underway. The store will remain closed until the search is completed. Police Chief Claiborne and several officers of LPD are on the scene. Claiborne indicated that this was the 3rd threat of this nature in the city in the last several years. Under Federal Homeland Security laws, the utterance of a bomb threat, even if it is a hoax, is considered a serious crime and will result in significant jail time. If anyone has any information concerning this matter, please contact the Louisville Police Department.
