BOMB THREAT INVESTIGATION

Baxter law enforcement continues its investigation into who threatened to blow up the Baxter Walmart on Wednesday. The store was evacuated and closed for a little over an hour. Baxter Police Chief Jim Exsted said Walmart employees were able to clear out the store in five minutes and "in about ten minutes, the parking lot was pretty much cleared out." Exsted said investigators are following up on a number of good leads but didn't know how soon he would announce further developments. A Walmart Corporate spokesman said if presented with the opportunity, they would prosecute to the full extent of the law. If you have information, call the Baxter PD at 1-218-454-5090.
