HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – Several law enforcement agencies dealt with a bogus “bomb threat” on Tuesday at the City College in Hollywood, police said.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office bomb squad responded to the college’s building, at 6565 Taft St., to investigate a suspicious device, according to the Hollywood Police Department.
A BSO dog checked mailboxes. A man wearing an FBI bulletproof jacket arrived. Hollywood police officers evacuated neighboring businesses and closed some roads as a safety precaution.
By about 1 p.m., officers determined there was no threat, removed yellow crime scene tape and reopened the area to the public.
