Bomb threat investigated in Jamestown

An incident in Jamestown, KY on Tuesday morning caused officials to close City Hall.

According to Jamestown Police Chief Jeff Kerns, a resident was cleaning when she came upon a live rifle round, possibly belonging to a fifty caliber rifle, and brought the round to the police department to be disposed of.



She made a comment that she was told it contained a liquid that could kill several people if it exploded, prompting police to secure the area and evacuate nearby buildings including City Hall.

To take extra precaution, Kentucky State Police Post 15 was called to help secure the area and make sure there was no imminent danger.

The area was cleared around 10am and City Hall was able to reopen.

Kerns said the investigation is ongoing but that no threat was made and there was no malicious intent behind the incident.

The Russell County Sheriff's Office, Jamestown Fire Department, Russell County Emergency Management, and Kentucky State Police all assisted at the scene and Russell Springs authorities were on standby to assist if needed.
