Customers and employees of the Batesville Walmart Supercenter were evacuated Monday night after a bomb threat was reportedly received over the phone.
Social media reports noted a heavy local law enforcement presence on the scene last night with a large crowd gathered in the store’s parking lot during the 9 p.m. hour as authorities searched the building.
Batesville Police told White River Now’s Gary Bridgman Tuesday morning that the case remains active and is under investigation.
