VALLEJO – A bomb threat in downtown Vallejo led Vallejo police to shut down streets Tuesday as they searched for a bomb, according to a Napa County sheriff's sergeant.

As of 11:34 a.m., police cleared the area after a search that did not turn up a bomb.

Napa County Sheriff's Sgt. Frank Walsh, a member of the agency's bomb squad, said that the sheriff's office received a call from Vallejo police at 9:30 a.m. to request mutual aid and dogs to search for a bomb. The sheriff's office searched the area of the threat but didn't find anything.

According to Vallejo police Sgt. Rashad Hollis, the incident was a miscommunication and there was no validity to the bomb threat.

The police department received the report of the possible threat at 9:24 a.m. The caller indicated that the threat was connected with the Vallejo Center building at 420 Virginia St. but did not have information regarding any particular unit in the building. The building houses the Visit Vallejo offices as well as offices for state Sen. Christopher Cabaldon and U.S. Rep. John Garamendi, who is up for reelection today.
