On Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2025, Montcalm County deputies responded to bomb threats at multiple branches of Community First Federal Credit Union and Tri-County High School.

Around 12:11 p.m., deputies arrived at Community First Federal Credit Union. With assistance from local and neighboring law enforcement, all branch offices were secured and cleared by uniformed officers. The threat was deemed not credible.

While investigating the credit union threat, deputies received a second bomb threat report at Tri-County High School. Law enforcement met with the school’s threat assessment team and a K-9 unit, in which a precautionary sweep of the building was conducted. No explosive devices were found, and the school was placed on lockdown during the investigation. The threat was also deemed not credible.

The Sheriff’s Office is investigating the source of the threats, which are believed to be related. The case remains ongoing as of Wednesday evening.

Assisting agencies included Montcalm Central Dispatch, Michigan State Police, Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office, Lakeview Police Department, Montcalm County EMS, and multiple fire departments.
