\nLouisville Metro police said two juveniles have been arrested in connection with a bomb threat called into an Old Louisville daycare on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
Police said the two juveniles were charged with terroristic threatening, which is a Class D felony.<\/p>\n
Louisville Metro Police Department spokesman Dwight Mitchell confirmed a heavy police presence covering several blocks after a threat was called in for a location in the 200 block of East Jacob Street around 8:26 a.m.<\/p>\n
TRIMARC also reported the ramp from I-65 North to Brook Street was closed for police activity.<\/p>\n
Louisville Metro Police evacuated children from the \u201cSkillz4Life\u201d development and wellness center to a secure location as a precaution. The students\u2019 parents were contacted by their director, according to police.<\/p>\n
One of the co-owners of \u201cSkillz4Life,\u201d Dr. Marleeta Harris, said when the threat was called in, the children were evacuated from the daycare in a TARC bus and taken to Norton Hospital.<\/p>\n
Children waited until parents were called to pick them up.<\/p>\n
Harris said the bus was provided by LMPD\u2019s Chief of Police, Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel, to help evacuate everyone from the building.<\/p>\n
She said the threat came in through a phone call on Wednesday morning and was racially motivated.<\/p>\n
An employee with nearby business Unified Sign and Design ssid police came in and told employees there was a \u201ccredible bomb threat\u201d next door at the development and wellness center.<\/p>\n
All employees were told to evacuate and were not given a timeline as to when the scene would be cleared.<\/p>\n
The scene began to clear shortly after 11:15 a.m., where police confirmed no bomb was found.<\/p>\n
The daycare said they plan to open on Thursday, and Louisville Metro Police said they would provide extra patrol.<\/p>\n
Th investigation is ongoing by the Louisville Metro Police Department.
