Each branch was evacuated while officials searched for a bomb.

The scare began around 12:30 p.m., when an unknown person called the main number of the credit union and said there was a bomb. The incident lasted about 90 minutes. During that time the four buildings were searched from top to bottom and outside.

Police said it appeared to be a terrorist threat and the person responsible could face third-degree felony state charges and possibly federal charges.
