An email sent by the facility’s corporate office regarding a rash of bomb threats across the country was misunderstood, prompting the police investigation, officers said.

Staff members interpreted the email was asking workers to call police to report an active threat, rather than just inform them of the wave of threats Thursday.

Operations were back to normal at the facility, according to our crew.

Additional details were not available.
