No developments in courthouse threat case

Investigators say there are not any updates regarding an investigation of who called in a threat against the Sweetwater County Courthouse earlier this month.

According to Green River City Police Department Chief Tom Jarvie, detectives have investigated several leads, but they have not led to the culprit. The Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office did not respond to a request for comment.

The first meeting of 2022 for the Sweetwater County Board of County Commissioners was interrupted Jan. 4 when someone called into the Sweetwater County Combined Communications Dispatch Center and threatened the county commissioners and the Sweetwater County Attorney’s Office.

The building was subsequently locked down as Green River Police Department officers and courtroom security secured the building and searched for a pipe bomb that had been allegedly hidden in the building. A pipe bomb was not located and after the building was secured, operations resumed.
