FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Missoula, MT (January 4, 2024) – As Missoula County employees reported for work this morning an
anonymous threat was received via email by the Clerk of Court stating there were explosives in the
Missoula County Courthouse. We are also aware that the threat was sent to multiple state and local
agencies across the Nation.

Missoula County Sheriff’s Office worked quickly and took precautions to safeguard the public and
county employees. At this time, nothing suspicious has been found. We are working closely with the
FBI to further investigate what appears to be an unfounded threat.

We encourage our communities to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity and/or individuals to
law enforcement immediately.
