Columbus Government Center employees, visitors evacuate building
Employees and visitors at the Columbus Government Center evacuated the building Monday morning.
The order came from the Muscogee County Sheriff Greg Countryman after a suspicious briefcase was left in a stairwell, city manager Isaiah Hugley told the Ledger-Enquirer.
The sheriff’s office is responsible for the building’s security.
Hugley texted the Ledger-Enquirer at 10:53 a.m. that the Government Center was determined to be all clear, and employees and visitors were allowed back into the building.
