“Today at approximately 2:12 PM, the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office was notified by a local news station regarding an email from an unknown source that made a threat to the Mary L. Stephens Yolo County Library in Davis. The email made a threat to detonate a bomb and include some form of hate speech.
The Davis Police Department quickly responded to the scene and evacuated approximately 10 county employees. Two adjacent buildings were also evacuated in an abundance of caution.
The Yolo County Regional Bomb Squad and Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department K-9’s responded to the scene. A search of the building resulted in negative findings. There is currently minimal information, and the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office Detectives will be conducting a thorough investigation.
We would like to thank our partners from the Davis Police Department, Regional Yolo County Bomb Squad, Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department K-9 unit and Davis Fire Department for their assistance.”
