On Monday, November 8, 2021, a call was received at McLaren Port Huron’s call center that caused the hospital to be placed on lock down. After both a physical investigation of the hospital and a review of the audio recording, Port Huron Police have determined there was no credible bomb threat.
When the call came in Monday morning, McLaren Port Huron was placed on lockdown and police began the investigation. The hospital was searched by officers and a Port Huron Police explosive detection dog.
Police spoke with the caller, a 41 year old Port Huron resident, who denied making the threats. However, he did make a verbal threat due to the hospital’s mask mandate. No arrests will be made, and the department is not seeking charges against the man.
McLaren Port Huron CEO Eric Cecava said, “The safety and welfare of our patients and employees are paramount. We Would like to thank the Port Huron Police Department for their quick response and comprehensive investigation.”
