The Pocatello Police Department, in conjunction with several other agencies including the Idaho Falls Police Bomb Squad, have determined that a suspected improvised explosive device was not actually an explosive.
Authorities say the school district received threats Monday, which led to the precautions taken Tuesday, according to a Pocatello Police news release. Police worked to identify persons of interest and interviewed them on Monday, the release says.
The suspected device was found Tuesday morning and the school was evacuated by school district staff, school resource officers and patrol division officers.
Agencies involved in the investigation included Pocatello Police K-9 units, street crimes unit and detective divisions. The Pocatello Fire Department, Bannock County Search and Rescue and Idaho Falls Police Bomb Squad also assisted. The FBI is also involved, the release says.
