SALT LAKE CITY — One person is in custody after University of Utah Police investigated reports of a bomb threat on campus early Friday morning.
Reports of the threat came in at 1:12 a.m. from a student who saw the threat targeting the Spencer Fox Eccles Business Building on social media and alerted police.
Officers immediately established a perimeter around the building and began searching for possible explosive devices with bomb-sniffing dogs.
No explosives were located and an “all clear” was issued shortly after 7 a.m.
Police were able to trace the threatening post to a student on campus and took that person into custody.
A cleaning crew was evacuated from the building during the search, and no one was determined to be in danger at any time.
