Update, 3:16 p.m.: After investigating, no explosive device was discovered, and managers for the Fort Campbell Planet Fitness have made the decision to open and resume business as usual, said Spielhagen.
The Clarksville Police Department does not dictate when a store should close, evacuate, or reoccupy; that is the sole decision of management for any given business. It appears that it was not a viable threat, but it is still an ongoing investigation and CPD is following up on possible leads,” she said.
Anyone with information or additional video footage are asked to please contact Sergeant Gilboy, 931-648-0656, ext. 5231. To remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward, submit a tip online at the Clarksville Montgomery County Crime Stoppers website or call the Tipline at 931-645-8477.
