from a male caller who stated, "There's a bomb in the bank."

The caller then hung up, said Sandage.

Bank employees evacuated the building and surrounding streets were blocked off as law enforcmenet conducted a search of the building and grounds.

Sandage said nothing was found and the area was cleared by 12:30 p.m.

The FBI is participating in the investigation.
