ALOHA, Ore. (AP) — A Wells Fargo bank branch and several surrounding businesses in Aloha, Ore., were evacuated Friday after the bank received a telephoned bomb threat. A section of nearby Highway 8 was temporarily closed as well.
Washington County sheriff’s Sgt. Vance Stimler says the caller told bank staff to place money in a garbage can just outside the bank or he would set off several bombs he claimed were in the building.
