On Thursday, December 19, 2013 at approximately 7:59a.m., the Emergency Communications Center (ECC) received two phone calls from the same male subject reporting bombs inside Leonardtown High School, the Circuit Court for St. Mary’s County building, and the District Court for St. Mary’s County building. Deputies were immediately dispatched to all three locations. Leonardtown High School was placed on lock down. The Circuit Court building was evacuated. The District Court building was not evacuated. Bomb detecting K-9 units from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office, NAS Patuxent River, and the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office responded to each of the locations and completed searches. No bombs were located. The Criminal Investigations Division has assumed the investigation into the false report.
