Mendocino County’s administration building on Ukiah’s Low Gap Road was evacuated Tuesday, November 12, 2024, following a bomb threat that later proved to be unfounded, according to Darcie Antle, CEO of Mendocino County.
“I was made aware of a concerning email stating that a bomb had been placed within the administration building,” Antle said. “Upon receiving this information, I took immediate action, coordinating with County policy and consulting with Sheriff Kendall.”
Antle said that Sheriff Kendall “advised initiating a comprehensive bomb assessment to ensure the safety of all involved.” She added, “His guidance played a key role in ensuring the situation was handled efficiently and effectively.”
At 4:00 p.m., staff at the administration building at 501 Low Gap Rd. were evacuated “in an abundance of caution.” Antle added that “by 5:00 p.m., a thorough bomb sweep had been conducted, and I am pleased to report that no explosive device was found. The situation was handled swiftly and efficiently to prioritize the well-being of our employees and the public.”
Antle said she was informed that the same threat had been sent to 17 other counties. “To our knowledge, at this time 17 Counties received the same email from the same sender,” she noted. The email was directed to the Assessor/Clerk Recorder/Register of Voters’ general email and referenced the 501 Low Gap Rd. administration building specifically.”
These are scary times we live in. Thankful no explosives were found. Seventeen counties, seems strange that I haven’t heard anything on the news channels yet.
Americans has become so psychotic over politics. It’s freakin crazy man.
Internet games played by distant actors to get local people riled up.
At some point either Iran, Russia, or China will figure out that you can pretty much keep things in a permanent state of chaos by robocalling in swats and bomb-threats to schools and other public buildings. There is really nothing stopping that at the moment
It’s amazing that isn’t already happening. They must have bigger fish to fry at the moment, or don’t want to generate the attention and reprisals just yet. Maybe after Trump replaces our top generals with news personalities and sycophants.
Lol yup a whole kalifornia type kefty admin of trannys n fruit mental cases worked well. Enjoy yer gubment checks.
Aww, did you get your feelings hurt with my comment? Poor little baby, sounds like you need your own diaper changed.
Someone got their supplemental property tax bills from 3 years ago and they need to pay it 30 days.
Ha ha not funny. The time & money spent on the crisis situation is more tax dollars wasted in 17 counties. No excuses for bomb threats please. Its psychopaths and enemies of US that don’t care about others having to deal with their selfish disturbing behaviors or the money/time spent that could be used for real emergency situations. This is why personel are overwhelmed at times.
This is done by design by the “Assesors “office so it can collect late fees. It’s happening in other states as well, how else can they pay for their outrageous salaries and rediculous pensions, we need to clean house.
My question is has everyone else been receiving jury summons twice in a year? What’s up with that? Our county as of 2023 has an estimated population of 89,108 people. I know that not all are eligible, but enough where maybe you would receive one every 2 to 3 years. Just curious, maybe someone with better knowledge could answer that.
