Overview
- A bomb threat sent before Brad Raffensperger’s campaign stop in Macon on Tuesday led deputies to evacuate Middle Georgia Regional Airport.
- The Macon-Bibb 911 center logged the threat at 8:21 a.m., prompting a sweep at the HighNote Aviation event site inside the airport.
- K-9 teams flagged an item in a vending machine in a secure area, and the bomb squad examined it and found no hazardous device.
- Middle Georgia Regional Airport reopened after the sweep, and no injuries were reported.
- Raffensperger’s stop was delayed during his “Standing for Georgia” tour for his 2026 run for governor, and police say the investigation has no identified suspects.
