A man threatened to blow up the Grand Traverse County Republican headquarters on Wednesday according to a statement from the Grand Traverse Sheriff’s Office.

 

They say a man came in holding a sign with “Trump is Satan” written on it and made the threat.

 

Sheriff’s deputies brought in bomb-sniffing dogs and cleared the building after the man left.

 

They are currently investigating the incident.
