ECRU – Authorities didn’t find a bomb after a threat was phoned in to the American Furniture Manufacturing plant on Thursday.

Pontotoc County Sheriff Neal Davis said deputies spent much of the day at the Ecru furniture plant looking for a bomb after the threat was left on the company’s voice mail.

Davis said the building was searched by his K-9 unit but no explosive devices was found.

American officials could not be reached for comment.

Ken Pruett, president of the Pontotoc-based Mississippi Furniture Association, said American employees were sent home. The company employs about 1,000 workers.

The incident is still under investigation.
