The owner of a new
business is upset and Mesa County Sheriff's Deputies are
looking for suspects after a bomb threat was called into the
club Saturday evening.
Around
10:30p.m. Saturday, the crowd of about 600 people was forced
to leave when two bomb threats were called in. Club
security called the Mesa County Sheriff's Office and the
club was evacuated.
A search of the
building turned up nothing and the club reopened about
11:30p.m. A club spokesman says he is thankful for the
quick response by the sheriff's office, but is upset they
had to be called into action.
Luke Jonathan Richards
with Axis says, "Not only was it frustrating for us
financially it was frustrating for us opening a new
business, but it was frustrating for the customer who were
here who had come out and had a good time, it was a great
time and they had to leave.
Mesa County Sheriff's
deputies are still investigating who called in the bomb
threats. Richards says once an arrest is made the club's
owners plan to press charges.
The management at Axis
wants to make it up to customers who were turned
away Saturday night. They will be holding a special event
this Wednesday starting at 7p.m.
