The sheriff's department employee who answered the phone thought the call was from a private phone (because some line noise characteristics peculiar to pay phones in the area were absent) but the trace was unsuccessful. A search of the plant was conducted f
but no bombs were found. All appropriate law enforcement officials r
were notified.
