LANCASTER, S.C. — Lancaster police say a woman was arrested Friday after calling in two bomb threats to a Zaxby’s.
According to the police department, officers responded to the fast food location, located on Highway 9 Bypass West, around 9 a.m. after an initial call.
Officers evacuated all employees from the building and searched the area for any suspicious packages. Nothing was discovered during the search.
A second phone call came in about a bomb threat at the restaurant around 10:45 a.m., while officers were still at the scene. They then searched the area again and found nothing.
Police say Sheniqua Cunningham, 38, called in both bomb threats and initially stated that a previous Zaxby’s employee made the threats. Cunningham later admitted to investigators that the information she had given was false.
Cunningham was arrested the same day and charged with two counts of making a bomb threat or conveying false information about a bomb threat, according to Lancaster police.
