YUBA CITY, CA (MPG) - On the morning of Dec. 10, several notes were found at Sutter County Offices that alluded to a potential bomb threat at the Superior Court of California, Sutter County, located at 1175 Civic Center Blvd. in Yuba City.

Sutter County Detectives, Sutter County Sheriff's Deputies and California Highway Patrol Officers quickly evacuated the courthouse until further notice. Assistance was requested from the Sacramento County and Butte County Explosive Ordnance Disposal Teams (EOD).

Around 10:30 a.m., an evacuation order was issued for ¼ of a mile radius surrounding the courthouse. Civic Center Blvd and Poole Ave were closed for approximately 1 hour. With the assistance of the Office of Emergency Management, the public was notified through an alert system on their mobile devices.

Once the surrounding area was safely evacuated, both Explosive Ordnance Disposal Teams were able to enter the courthouse and secure the scene. No threats were found.

"There is no greater responsibility than keeping our community and our staff safe when these types of threats are brought to our attention. These matters are always taken seriously by my office, and it is being fully investigated," Sheriff Barnes said.

Sutter County Detectives are working to identify a potential suspect. Additional information will be provided once an identity is confirmed.

The evacuation order has been lifted. All scheduled court sessions from the morning of Dec. 10 will be rescheduled to a later time/date.
