My sleepy little town
Chaos erupted at the Santa Maria Courthouse on Wednesday morning after a man threw a suspected bomb into a courtroom.
At approximately 8:35 a.m., a man opened the door to Department 9 and began screaming that the FDA is poisoning 900,000 people every year, sources said. He then threw a suspected bomb into the courtroom and ran.
The device ignited and smoke billowed out from the open door. People were running and screaming, “It’s a bomb!”
Law enforcement from multiple agencies took the man into custody and dragged him away, according to attorney Bill Ausman who was in the courthouse.
The courthouse is currently closed as investigators process the scene. There are no reported injuries at this time.
That's the same courthouse Michael Jackson was tried and acquitted
