Suspicious Bag Investigated At Greenville Courthouse Monday

Greenville County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to the Greenville County Courthouse on Monday to investigate a suspicious bag left outside the East North Street building. A deputy with a K9 was making a routine check around 10:30 a.m. Monday around the courthouse, when the dog alerted on the bag. A robot checked it out while nearby businesses were notified and portions of surrounding streets were closed. After investigating, deputies said the bag did not contain anything explosive or threatening. The courthouse was closed for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, so no one was inside.
