Lowndes County sheriff”s deputies were called in to check the Lowndes County Courthouse Monday after an adult male made a bomb threat to 911 dispatchers.

As a precaution, deputies brought in a bomb-sniffing dog to sweep the courthouse, Songer said. Monday marked the first day of the Lowndes County Circuit Court February term.
