The Ann Arbor city hall and police department were evacuated and several main downtown streets were closed for nearly eight hours Saturday morning in a bizarre incident that involved a bomb threat phoned to a U.S. government facility overseas.

The FBI received two tips, one at 7:30 p.m. Friday and another at 1 a.m. Saturday, that led them to alert Ann Arbor police about a possible bomb in the mayor's office of the Larcom Municipal Building.

Police searched city hall with a bomb-sniffing dog and at about 4:15 a.m. the dog alerted police to possible explosives in a filing cabinet in a vacant office adjacent to the mayor's office on the third floor.
