Bomb
continued from page 1A
number reported a bomb in
the Toombs County Court
house.
The Toombs County
Sheriff’s Office, which is in
charge of courthouse secu
rity responded to evacuate
all staff and citizens to a
safe location. After securing
the courthouse, deputies
conducted a search but did
not discover a bomb. An
all-clear was issued and the
courthouse was reopened
to employees and the public
at 1 p.m.
As part of the investi
gation, officers utilized the
assistance and resources of
the Middle Judicial Circuit
District Attorney’s Office
in helping to identify a sus
pect in the incident. As the
case progressed, the Sher
iff’s Office learned that the
Lyons Police Department
was probing a bomb threat
called into a local conve
nience store in Lyons on
November 24. In last week’s
edition of The Advance, it
was reported that Weeks
was also charged in the con
venience store case, but in
actuality, Weeks is only con
sidered a person of inter
est in that incident and no
charges have been made so
far in that case, said Lyons
Police Chief Wesley Walker.
Eventually, enough
evidence was obtained to
implicate a suspect, and
Toombs County authori
ties obtained a warrant to
arrest Weeks for Terroris
tic Threats and Acts in the
courthouse incident.
This is still an active in
vestigation and the Toombs
County Sheriff’s Office asks
that anyone with informa
tion please contact law
enforcement at 912-526-
6778. Callers may remain
anonymous.
