Alachua Police officers found no suspicious items at the Taco Bell restaurant after a man allegedly called Sunday with a bomb threat.

According to an Alachua Police Department (APD) release, officers responded at 1:01 p.m. to Taco Bell (15350 NW 144^th Way) after the restaurant received a call from an unidentified male who stated, “I have a bomb,” and then ended the call.

Officers evacuated the building and a search outside of the building was conducted. No suspicious items were found.

An Alachua County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) K-9 unit was requested to check for explosives. A search of the building by the K-9 unit yielded no suspicious devices and the business was allowed to return to its normal operations.

“While the threat was determined to be non-credible, the safety and well-being of our community remain our top priority,” said APD Detective Thomas Stanfield, the department’s spokesperson, in the press release. We do not take these indirect threats lightly and will investigate it to the fullest. We would like to thank the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance and the cooperation of Taco Bell’s management in ensuring a swift and effective evacuation.”

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the APD at 386-462-1396.
