Peoria bomb threat shuts down holiday light show downtown
PEORIA – The Peoria Chiefs were staging Opening Night for a new holiday light show Friday at Dozer Park when they found themselves part of an evacuation zone and had to shut down the event. Downtown Peoria was cleared out and closed off by police after a bomb threat at the old ADM plant was deemed credible. That site was only about a mile from Dozer Park. “We were open for probably 45 minutes when the police showed up and said shut it down,” said Chiefs general manager Jason Mott, who had about 90 members of the public in the ballpark walking through the show. “They told us why, and it was stunning. I would venture to say none of the other teams in the Midwest League have ever had an event cancelled because of a bomb threat, that’s a new one for us. But we got everyone out of there safely and quickly.” More: Peoria police order evacuation after bomb threat at old ADM plant.
