Two phone calls threatening unspecified violence brought the workday to a screeching halt at the city-county Government Center in Rochester shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday.
Police officers and Olmsted County Sheriff's Office deputies evacuated hundreds of employees and citizens from the building and conducted a thorough search of it for bomb materials. Nothing was found, and the building reopened at about 3:30 p.m.
"We swept every single room and closet and piece of property," said Sheriff Steve Von Wald.
