The false bomb threat made at Walmart on March 29 had Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies searching the store's toilets.
The threat was called into the pharmacy’s phone line at 4:18 p.m., according to the FCSO’s incident report for the bomb threat. The pharmacy technician that answered the call told the store’s general manager that the caller sounded like a juvenile male and said “I dropped a bomb in your toilet” before hanging up.
The false threat prompted an immediate evacuation of the store according to Walmart’s policies, the report said.
When FCSO deputies arrived, the bathrooms were cleared of people and blocked off while the store was being evacuated, the report said. Once the store was cleared, FCSO’s K-9 unit searched the front, rear and family bathrooms, according to the store’s general manager’s request.
The store was given the all-clear at 5:39 p.m., the report said, with nothing suspicious found.
The general manager gave FCSO deputies the caller ID information, a 904-phone number with a woman’s name.
FCSO’s Intel Unit will be following up on the incident, the report said.
