Everyone was evacuated from the Hall of Justice on Thursday as the Louisville Metro Police Department Bomb Squad worked in the building.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said 33 year-old David Kennedy, from Louisville, entered the corner entrance at 6th and Jefferson just before noon. He was wearing a backpack and reportedly told those at security that he had enough explosives to blow up the building.
Deputies pepper sprayed Kennedy and then arrested him.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said there were no explosives found.
Kennedy is facing several charges, including terroristic threatening, criminal trespass, assault, resisting arrest and 15 counts of wanton endangerment.
Kennedy was taken to the University of Louisville Hospital to be psychologically evaluated, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Once released from their care, deputies will take him into custody.
