CLEARFIELD – The Clearfield County Courthouse and the immediate downtown area is shut down after a suspicious package was discovered outside of 207 E. Market St.
According to Clearfield Borough Police Chief Vincent McGinnis, police received the report of the package at approximately 7:15 a.m. Monday morning. He said the package is considered “suspicious in nature” due to its timing and the unrest throughout the United States.
Both vehicle and pedestrian traffic are shut down in the block surrounding the courthouse, and people should avoid this area. This morning’s session of Revocation Court is being held at the YMCA gymnasium.
No further information is available at this time. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Clearfield Borough Police Department at 814-765-7819 or 814-765-1533.
